Executive Voices Wanted: Take the Drupal Executives Network Community Survey

Organizers of the Drupal Executives Network invite agency leaders to shape a new community designed exclusively for CEOs, CTOs, board members, and heads of Drupal businesses. Having spent more than a decade running the Drupal Business Survey and hosting Business Dinners to help agencies thrive, they now seek direct input to ensure this next initiative truly addresses executive needs.

Purpose of the Survey

The survey’s goal is to capture the real-world priorities, pain points, and aspirations of Drupal agency leadership. By gathering insights on challenges—such as scaling operations, winning new clients, optimizing pricing models, and managing talent—the Network can tailor its offerings (peer roundtables, mentoring, benchmarking data, and specialized workshops) to deliver maximum impact.

Who Should Participate

Any executive responsible for guiding a Drupal-focused agency or practice—whether that agency specializes in web development, digital marketing, system integration, or broader business strategy—is encouraged to respond. Participation requires roughly five minutes and is completely anonymous; results will be published only in aggregate.

Key Survey Topics

1. Leadership openness and mentoring: Willingness to both learn from peers and support others.
2. Agency profile: Size, service mix, and market positioning.
3. Top three business challenges: From client acquisition and operational efficiency to pricing strategy and talent development.
4. Knowledge gaps: Areas such as AI & automation, M&A, or financial modeling, and preferred formats for filling those gaps (e.g., case studies, 1-on-1 coaching, peer cohorts).
5. Desired Network features: Interest in executive retreats, collaborative purchasing agreements, industry benchmarks, or on-demand playbooks.
6. Open-ended input: “Wild wishes” for the Network—any ideas that could transform how Drupal executives connect and grow.  

Next Steps

Upon survey closure, organizers will analyze responses and produce a report of actionable insights. Those findings will directly inform the launch of:

• Executive-level events and workshops
• A structured mentoring program
• A private online forum for peer exchange
• A resource library with benchmarks and playbooks

Also, don't forget to forward this invitation to fellow Drupal practice leaders. The broader and more diverse the participation, the more powerful the resulting Network will be—for every executive, everywhere.
