Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Can I retrieve metrics on any given business process?

Possibly. Although TBE hosts an enormous amount of data, the availability of hard metrics for specific business processes may not be readily available. And, as you know, anyone claiming to have metrics on a specific process should automatically be questioned as to the validity and source of the data. You will also find published reports that you can buy from 3rd parties. However, typically these won't contain the organization name or a contact within the surveyed organization(s) who is willing to discuss the study results with you.

However, you can launch a Posting in TBE's Posting Board or host a Survey with TBE's Surveyor which enables you to ask a very large audience the specific metrics you are looking for. The data will be fresh, you have control of the questions being asked and you will also know who the participants/responders are! You can expect to begin receiving responses to your survey immediately.

What if I see another member asking for help for which I have previously or currently am working on a similar business process. Can I inform them that I may be able to assist?

Yes! This is what the network is all about. Perhaps the other person is just wrapping up their research. You may be able to get some fresh data for your own internal needs by providing some of your own collected information.

BUT... Consultants must not turn the dialog into a sale. In other words, if you are a Consultant you can help but do not offer to assist for a fee.

What other costs, aside from the subscription fee, are involved when I join?

None. You pay the subscription fee (license) and that's it.

If I want to run a survey how much will it cost?

The cost to sponsor a survey depends on several variables; mainly size and complexity. Please visit SURVEYS for further information about sponsoring a survey.

Does TBE itself provide consultant services?

No but, we do receive many inquiries from members asking if we would provide consulting services. We politely decline and refer them to the online directory in the Members Only service so they can find the right Consultancy for their needs.
