  • Introduction

    SPINE20 is undertaking a strategic planning process to define its priorities and direction for the next 5 years. As part of this process, the upcoming SPINE20 Strategic Planning Meeting will bring together Task Force and executive committee members to consider how SPINE20 can strengthen collaboration and partnerships to advance evidence-informed spine policy and implementation globally.

    The Collaborative Symposium will ask participants to review and refine the proposed strategic direction, consider SPINE20’s current strengths and challenges, identify the most important partnership and organizational gaps, and help establish priorities for future action.

    Purpose of this survey

    Before the SPINE20 Strategic Planning Meeting, we would like to hear from current SPINE20 member representatives. This brief survey asks for your views on: 

    • Where SPINE20’s collaborative network should be in 5 years and what success should look like
    • The strengths and opportunities SPINE20 can build on
    • The partnership and organizational gaps that could hinder progress, and
    • The issues that should receive the greatest priority going forward.
    • The four-part survey (Strategic direction; Strategic position; Priority gaps; Demographics) should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. 

    The four-part survey (Strategic direction; Strategic position; Priority gaps; Demographics) should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

    Your perspective is important in helping ensure that SPINE20’s future collaborative strategy reflects the experience and priorities of its member organizations.

    Responses will be summarized at the group level and presented at the Symposium to help focus discussion, identify areas of agreement and differing perspectives, and inform strategic priority setting.
