SurveyMonkey.com is a user-friendly online survey tool that can help you quickly craft surveys and compile results. Or, if your collaborative is a small group, members can simply send their responses to a facilitator or group chair.

• How can we improve our communications? Do members have access to all communication tools? Do they find tools efficient and easy to use?
• Are communications too sparse, or overwhelming? Are members satisfied with the pace and punctuality of messages and updates?
• If your collaborative expands membership, how can you alter communications to include new voices and input? For example:
  • Smaller groups often draft documents via internal email thread.
  • A larger group might opt for a common “home” of documents, like SharePoint (Office 365), Google Docs, Dropbox or Basecamp.
• What types of materials do members expect leaders to communicate? What types of responses do leaders expect from members? Are these expectations being met?
