Survey will achieve first global view of demographics, professional development and remuneration
IABM today launched an ambitious international research project – the Score – and is calling for everyone involved in the broadcast and media technology industry to participate.
Requiring just 5-10 minutes to complete online at www.theiabm.org/score, the Score is designed to gather industry-wide data on demographics, professional development status and needs, and remuneration around the world. The survey is entirely anonymous to encourage the maximum number of people to participate.
The more people who engage, the more representative the results of the Score will be, and IABM is encouraging everyone to take part – and get their colleagues and friends in the industry to participate too. The outcome will be an authoritative, international review of the state of the broadcast and media industry, against which individuals and companies can benchmark themselves – find out what the Score really is.
IABM will first announce the results in March 2017 at the Tom McGann Memorial Summit in Kuala Lumpur – two days of high level dialog between leaders from the broadcast and media industry, government, training and educational institutes aimed at providing solutions for tackling skills shortages in the industry. For more information, visit www.theiabm.org/training/Engineering-the-future.
The results will then be published on the IABM website, together with detailed analysis and commentary provided by Lorenzo Zanni, IABM Research Analyst. IABM plans to repeat the Score every two years to provide the industry with ongoing feedback on how it is meeting the challenges that our constantly changing industry faces.
“IABM undertakes a wide range of industry research and analysis as part of its services to members, and skills shortages are regularly quoted as a major reason that companies are struggling to develop new products in a timely fashion and win new business,” said Peter White, IABM CEO. “The Score will for the first time provide some hard facts against which individuals and companies can benchmark themselves, and will also provide real direction on where the wider industry needs to concentrate its firepower. It’s a bold initiative from which everyone can benefit.”
