YouGov Case Studies

 

Driving Progress and Innovation Through Tech Intensity

Working with WE on behalf of Microsoft, YouGov surveyed 700 business and technology decision-makers in the US across 20 industries. The study quantified the degree to which organizations are moving, and intend to move, beyond adoption of technology to develop proprietary digital practices. This shift—referred to as “Tech Intensity” by Microsoft—supports Microsoft’s evolution to a company that empowers and supports organizations as they work towards ever-higher degrees of tech intensity to solve complex business and societal issues. Following the survey, a qualitative exploration via online bulletin boards was conducted among survey respondents which revealed deep insights into business decisions makers and their goals for increasing the level of tech intensity in their firms.

Closing the Gender Gap in Technology Careers

Working with WE on behalf of Capital One, YouGov recommended a survey approach to reveal the factors that contribute to women staying and succeeding in technology careers. YouGov polled 250 women who have been in tech careers for at least 8 years (and attained senior roles) and 200 women who left the industry after three or more years. “X-factors” such as the nature of the work, the support provided by employers, and personal perseverance, along with more traditional factors like overall compensation and work-life balance were revealed through the research. Capital One released a white paper sharing the results and offering recommendations for the industry. Please see the full case study here.

 

Giving Voice to America’s Youth & Families

The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) needed to create a sense of urgency around issues for which it has long advocated. YouGov surveyed 2,250 surveys of parents plus one child ages 6-17 from the same household. The survey covered a wide range of topics including school safety, views on gun control, children’s hopes, dreams and concerns and quantified the breadth of worries among both parents and children—from fitting in to bullying and from school AND neighborhood shootings to experiences with discrimination. CDF rolled out this findings in several white papers and press releases and has been using the data to build a case for change among legislators, policy makers and the general public.
