Contest Advisory & Services Firm Social Business Adoption 2012

Contest Advisory & Services Firm Social Business Adoption 2012Advisory and Services Firm Social Business Adoption 2012 is publishing as individual Executive Summaries of firm category reports. These discuss relative scores of firms in each category, but they don’t disclose scores themselves. This enables us to have some fun. You can guess the highest scores in several categories and win valuable prizes!

Contest Rules

To be eligible for 1st, 2nd or 3rd prizes, all you need do is respond to four questions via the embedded survey below. You could win an Extended Analysis report of any firm in this Research Survey, or even commission your own Extended Analysis report! For five minutes of your time.

I will award prizes two days after the last Executive Summary publishes (see the Research Survey microsite for dates). However, the first person who responds with the correct answer wins that prize. This introduces some risk for people who just wait until the end! You should also know that I reserve the right to change any of the rules or prizes without notice except on this page.

Read on for details of the prizes, guidance and clues, and the link to participate. Good luck!

Guidance

Here are some tips to increase your chances.

  • The highest possible Overall score of the survey was 97, the highest possible Practice score was 61 and the highest possible Leadership score was 36.
  • Overall scores sum Practice and Leadership scores.
  • No firm earned the top Overall, Practice or Leadership scores, so your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to guess the firm and score combinations.
  • Read a couple of the Executive Summaries to get a feeling for how the scores work. They are published in random order, so no one will know when the firms with the highest scores will appear. However, when all six have been published, you will know relatively which firm in each category had the highest score. This will increase your probability significantly.
  • The highest Overall Score may contain the highest Practice score and/or the highest Leadership score. Or it may not.
  • Remember that firms’ overall scores are the sum of their Practice and Leadership scores.
  • Use comments at the bottom of this page to ask questions to get clarification.
