👋 Community Introductions

Hi all,

Michael here, we have a small business consultancy based in Sydney, NSW and we have recently upgraded our data analytics area and so have started to trial Qualtrics for a number of different project ideas to help clients evaluate the best ways to grow their products and services in a sustainable way.

Hi all!
My name is Justin Trischitta and I've been using the Qualtrics platform since 2015. I previously managed our Qualtrics-enabled voice of customer program at a global Fortune 100 company for 6 years and since then have decided to go down my own path as an independent CX consultant, primarily assisting clients launch and manage their VOC programs. I am Qualtrics CoreXM Expert certified and a huge fan of the Qualtrics platform!
If you'd ever like to share best practices or connect, feel free to reach out!
Justin

Hi XM Community -
I'm Taylor and I work for Health Alliance Plan (HAP), a MI based health insurer. I work as an Analyst and we've recently made the transition to using Qualtrics as our survey tool.
I'll be diving into traditional survey work and some UX testing. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
I'm eager to network with other professionals in this space

Hi everyone! My name is Mike, and I work in Melbourne, Australia.
I am quite new to Qualtrics, and have only just started understanding how much it can do - it seems amazing.
I am bound to have many questions, so please bear with me!

Qualtrics has always reminded me of an iceberg in that what you see on the surface is only a fraction of what exists beneath the surface. Enjoy exploring!

Welcome, ralphpagarigan! We are so excited to have you join the community 

Hi all,
I am Irina from Finland. I work for Hiab Cargotec and based in Helsinki.. Started my CX journey back in 2015 and started working with Qualtrics in 2016. I used to have the Qualtrics certifications, unfortunately they expired while I was between jobs, but hope to renew them at some point. I am a certified Salesforce admin and a CCXP.
Happy to join the community (once again)

Hello,
I'm Dan. I work with the Center for Drug and Health Studies at UDel, and I'm a faculty member at Penn State Harrisburg. I work with Qualtrics on a range of efforts, from national surveys to student thesis data collection to in-class survey activities.
The answers that I find on this community pretty consistently help me accomplish any given Qualtrics effort. This place is a great resource. So first of all, thanks everyone for all the help you've given me in the past even when you didn't know it.
I can't imagine I'll have many answers for others in a general sense, as I'm no guru at any of this. However, there are a few annual surveys (such as the CDC's YRBS, Profiles, etc; see https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm) that are opening up to electronic or partially-electronic administration and lots of us are using Qualtrics in those efforts. If there was some kind of user group for those surveys I bet I'd be able to help out there.
At this point I think each state is functioning more or less independently, but I think we're all solving the same problems since we're basically doing minor variations of the same survey and they all need to be as consistent as possible. So if we could do that here I think we'd be able to get a lot more accomplished, and the solutions would be more easily available to others looking to incorporate electronic administration into those annual surveys.
My next step here, I think, is to ask about creating a group/subgroup/subforum/tag/whatever for the YRBS and maybe for Profiles in advance of the 2023/24 administration. If anyone has any suggestions or input on that, please let me know.
Thanks all-
Dan
