What Top-Performing Survey Experiences Have in Common: Insights from RISE

Every researcher wants better data. But the conditions that lead to high-quality insights are often established long before data is analyzed. They begin with the experience respondents have while completing a survey. 

Through RISE, Dynata has a vantage point few organizations can match. We see patterns across thousands of studies, industries, and research programs, and what we’ve learned is remarkably consistent: surveys that create better respondent experiences often produce stronger research outcomes. 

Join our experts for an inside look at what separates top-performing research programs from the rest. We’ll share the characteristics most commonly associated with high RISE scores, the data behind those findings, and the thinking that shaped the RISE framework, including why certain factors carry greater weight than others. You’ll also hear how leading organizations use RISE to identify opportunities for improvement and strengthen both respondent engagement and data quality. 

We’ll close by recognizing this year’s RISE Award recipients and celebrating the organizations setting the standard for better research experiences across the industry.
