The Science + Innovation Group in MBIE commissioned Colmar Brunton to conduct an independent stakeholder survey across a wide range of organisations, and 61 stakeholders commented on Landcare Research (57 in 2013; 61 in the 2012)

  • 70% are satisfied  with the way we set research priorities (78% in 2013; 83% in 2012)
  • 72% are confident we consider theh sector's priorities when setting research priorities (69% in 2013; 70% in 2012)
  • 92 % are confident that we put together the most appropriate research teams (85% in 2013; 91% in 2012)
  • 82% are satisfied with the overall quality of their experience (91% in 2013; 87% in 2012)

Our results sit at the top end of the CRI range in many cases, above the CRI average in all cases and are not materially different year-on-year since the survey was initiated.
