A few months ago we conducted our annual reader survey, and the results are in! Though I use the survey to collect data and measure multiple points there are three areas that I am primarily concerned with - what is your #1 challenge and what are the most valuable posts (MVP’s). It is the answer to these two questions that let me know how this blog can better serve your needs.
#1 Challenge:
The primary challenges stated are all related to the topic of education. The educational challenges are related to one of three areas:
- Codes, standards, and compliance - knowledge and interpretation of current codes and standards, and how to properly apply them for compliance.
- Fire protection systems - understanding the guidelines, references, and standards for system designs
- Building owners - educating building owners on codes and standards, and the importance of compliance, and how to achieve buy-in.
MVP’s:
The most valuable posts to our readers are ones that provide explanations and details for specific codes and code sections. A good example is these top viewed posts:
Consistent with the above, many readers stated a desire for training products. These products could include webinars, in-person classes, and courses that provide CEU’s. Moving forward we will potentially be developing content, products, services, and opportunities that fill this need.
This reader survey also asked about what other blogs TheCodeCoach.com readers were also reading. Here’s the top four blogs and sites that were listed:
As always, thank you for being dedicated readers. I am always open to feedback and requests. Feel free to contact me anytime!
