TOCC Survey: Getting More Out of Projects This survey deals with what your organization is doing to meet this challenge. Where do you see the leverage points for making gains, and how well-aligned you feel your company's efforts are with these critical areas. We think everyone wants to know what is going on in other organizations, and how it is working, so there are questions for both what is actually being done, and also your perceptions of what should be done. As always, your answers are anonymous. 1. Is your company currently involved in any initiatives to improve the process of managing projects? Yes No 2.
