The 9th Annual BCM Study recently came to a close and we couldn't be more pleased with the level of participation!  There were 2,644 survey respondents from over 50 countries.  The majority of the survey responses were received from the USA and Canada.

Thank you to everyone who participated this year.  You will be receiving your complimentary reports (Executive Board Report and Comprehensive BCM Compensation Report) in the coming weeks.

The 10th Annual BCM Study will be released in March of 2011.  The 10th Annual BCM Study will be focusing on BCM Program Management initiatives and 2009/2010 BCM Compensations.  BC Management is also pleased to announce several survey enhancements in the 10th Annual BCM study.  These enhancements will significantly reduce the time it takes to complete the study.  Also, the framework built on the back end will allow us to report more timely results.  All the back end work has tied up the reporting process this year, but the changes will make the survey and our reporting capabilities more robust in the future.

Please do not hesitate to share any comments with the BC Management team at info@bcmanagement.com.

Happy Holidays!
