Zweig Group also wants to hear from you, its readers and clients: What topics do you need more information on or would like to see covered com- prehensively in a Zweig Group book? Zweig Group is excited about the new year, and we hope that you are, too. We look forward to serving you in 2016 – through consulting, research, publi- cations, and more.

cusing on the year ahead, include the staff at Zweig Group. Andrea Bennett, who was overseeing THE ZWEIG LETTER, has taken over Zweig Group’s research and publications departments, and big things are planned for 2016, including the intro- duction of several new mini surveys and the pro- duction of more book publications. The introduction of so-called “mini surveys” offers several new opportunities for readers. These pub- lications will be available only in a digital format, rather than as a printed document, which means it will be less expensive and full-color. In addition, these surveys – which cover topics such as firms’ social media usage, provision of company cars and cell phones, satellite offices, websites, and more – offer an in-depth look at a specific topic. These products will be made available throughout the year, in addition to Zweig Group’s current survey publications, and are designed to compliment top- ics that those surveys cover. Don’t forget: When you fill out a survey question- naire, you automatically receive a coupon code for a 65 percent discount (50 percent for the mini sur- veys) that can be applied to any survey – not only the one you just answered questions for. So, if you’re considering buying a survey, look too at the open questionnaires. Not only does your firm’s in- formation allow Zweig Group to provide the most comprehensive data for the industry, but participa- tion also allows you real savings – sometimes more than $300! In addition to surveys, Zweig Group is also plan- ning to unveil several book revisions in 2016. Last year, Zweig Group revised three publications – its Successful Project Management , Guide to & Samples of Press Releases , and Guide to Mergers & Acquisi- tions for A/E/P & Environmental Consulting Firms – in 2016, production will at least double. The first book Zweig Group will release this year is Job Descriptions & Organizational Charts for A/E/P & Environmental Consulting Firms , an updated re- vision of its past publications A/E Job Descriptions and A/E Organizational Charts , which will now be combined in a single publication. This product will be available in print and digital formats at the end of February. Other topics covered by Zweig Group books in
2016 SURVEYS Zweig Group will open participation for all of its surveys in just a few weeks, meaning that professionals can submit their data throughout the year, until the participation deadline, and reap the discounts that come from survey participation.
