6.3 Digital network
A specific survey was designed and sent by emails to the digital network.
In total, 60 unique surveys were received from the digital network with 2 additional double submissions. As a
reminder the digital network is a dynamic group of around 150 ‘members’ of the Sunshine Coast technology
community.
This informal network associates with the Digital Hub in a number of ways, including through attendance at
professional development seminars and tech. networking events.
Overall 40% of this community provided responses to the survey, which is a high proportion of the available
sample size. The number of responses is considered to assist with data validity and any assumptions made.
The most relevant information to support the calculation of the SROI follows. The full data set has been
provided to Council.
