How many sessions of the speaker series did you attend? 3 - 4
How would you rate your experience overall in the Management Analyst Speaker Series? Excellent
How satisfied were you with the selected locations and the time of day for the speaker series? Very satisfied with both
Did the series meet your expectations? Exceeded
Please specify in what ways the series met or did not meet your expectations. The level of transparency offered by the guest speakers was beyond what I expected. The types of questions asked from other Management Analysts were insightful and helpful.
What did you like and feel we did well?
Please list up to three aspects of the series that you liked and feel we did well.
-The variety in guest speakers offered unique perspectives into local government career trajectories and experience.
-The analyst participation rate and attendance
-The amount of time allocated for analyst to ask question
How did the series help you connect, learn, or collaborate, and what valuable or inspiring insights did you gain? -By simply being in the same room as others in similar roles facilitated work and non work conversations I otherwise probably wouldn't have had
-Learned how others handle similar work issues and the types of thought process had by the questions asked to the guest speaker

What is your vision for the future of the Management Analyst Group? Please share any specific topics, activities or goals you would like to see included. The series was great, I also think it could be helpful to have a couple meetings where analysts discuss how they navigate certain work situations/projects/assignments/people.
What actions or changes would help improve the Management Analyst Group and better meet your needs?" -Similar response as above, having a space where we can offer each other advice/suggestions on different issues/topics.
Based on your experience, how likely are you to stay involved in the Management Analyst Group? Very Likely

How many sessions of the speaker series did you attend? 5 or more
How would you rate your experience overall in the Management Analyst Speaker Series? Very Good
How satisfied were you with the selected locations and the time of day for the speaker series? Very satisfied with both
Did the series meet your expectations? Exceeded
Please specify in what ways the series met or did not meet your expectations. It was great to hear from DH's and learn about their career paths. Many of whom have been working in RWC for decades and had great things to say about the evolvement of their job but also the way they manage their teams. It met expectations but feeling that this group is important and appreciated by the various speakers who took time out to help empower us.
What did you like and feel we did well?
Please list up to three aspects of the series that you liked and feel we did well.
It is always nice to provide lunch and give a good mid-day break to reflect and learn.
Providing advance notice of when the meetings would be held is always helpful.
Allowed time for us to ask question and collaborate.
How did the series help you connect, learn, or collaborate, and what valuable or inspiring insights did you gain? It strengthens the importance of our roles in the city and in our departments. It is a good visual of the others who are also in our same classification.
Again, the inspiring take aways were from each of the speakers. Even if it was one thing that they said, it made us think.
What is your vision for the future of the Management Analyst Group? Please share any specific topics, activities or goals you would like to see included. If the CM is deciding to continue the series then we could create working groups to help her tackle city initiatives. There are a variety of priorities she has and if we focused on 2-3 per year, the group might contribute more and be helpful. It would be helpful to have that yearly calendar of what the topics might be or what is important to focus on each time. It might be good to survey the management team to see what they think of our roles. We tend to work along side of them without really having any authority or leadership opportunities to improve efficiencies. Maybe have one of them speak but the topic should relate to what MA's do or could support.
What actions or changes would help improve the Management Analyst Group and better meet your needs?" Potentially setting aside one hour and 15 minutes or an hour and a half it is is more a working/brainstorming session.
Based on your experience, how likely are you to stay involved in the Management Analyst Group? Very Likely
If you selected “Neutral” “Unlikely” or “Very Unlikely”, Please explain why you chose this level of likelihood. If the CM is showing commitment to this group, then we should to. There are a lot of new employees in the group that would benefit from staying involved but also need to make sure the "seasoned" MA's have buy in as well. Has to be a collaborative effort.
