GC Task Success Survey (TSS) results

Peter Smith (DTO)

Presentation: "GC Task Success Survey Update"

• Questionnaire runs off main sites as an exit survey

• Over 40K participants every month / 600K over the fiscal year 2022-23
• At the individual task level, we are seeing tasks move in a positive direction
• You can use basic UX design strategies to make signficant gains in task success for low performing tasks
• TBS is considering an official tasking to institutions on top task improvement (Fall 2023)
• DTO and PP would be there to support departments to make improvements - help improve TSS data, identifying what to improve, analyzing data for insights, measuring and reporting results, additional research and design
• Looking at how to create the conditions for success for a tasking

Question to the group: What would you want to see in that tasking to make it feasible for your organization?

Group suggestions

• A process document

• Details on the time frame for this tasking

• Could use some positioning to help explain optimization work to program people

• May need some governance around this – GC web presence is a shared resource, about GC as whole, to help get away from ‘it’s my site’

• Ask Depts to submit proposals on what they can do within the desired time frame - each department will have different capacity

• Helpful if TBS/DTO would emphasize more to senior management of departments the importance of doing these exercises, as it’s often not considered a priority and not much time is allocated to this type of work

• KPIs or targets would be helpful - for example, pick a top task and improve it by a specific percentage

For further comments or feedback, please email Peter Smith or reach him on Slack.

Theme questionnaire results

Annie Crombie (DTO)

Presentation: “Theme lead questionnaire - Summary of results”

• Follow up meetings with theme leads after topic tree analysis work revealed that many teams couldn’t act on feedback because of lack of resources

• The Theme lead questionnaire was aimed at better understanding the issues

• We’ve seen a shift since the Web renewal initiative when the project was resourced, but since then multi-institution theme content has been de-prioritized

• As we start to think about findability and SEO and AI generated content, need to look at findability in different ways
