Another method of collecting data is through surveys. While this is a quick way
of generating data from a broad population, it is limited because it only provides
responses to the questions asked. And, like expert panels, surveys often miss
the hidden competencies that are unique to the job or the organization.
Augmenting surveys with BEIs can improve the outcome, but still will not provide
the richness of a model created from a larger number of BEIs.
