DiagFor is short for Diagnostic for Forest contractors. It is an online questionnaire designed as a benchmarking and continuous improvement tool for forest contractors. This diagnostic tool is part of a personal and ongoing improvement process for contractors. It will enable you to compare your answers with the median of all other participating forest contractors.

After registering, you will be asked to answer “yes” or “no” to a series of questions that are divided into eight categories called contractor responsibilities. They cover all key aspects of a contractor’s business, ranging from human resource management to equipment productivity. For each responsibility, your performance will be evaluated on a scale of 1 to 5 (entry level to world-class contractor).

If you fill in the questionnaire honestly (as you should do when golfing or bowling for instance), you will get suggestions for improving your specific situation. Above all, we believe that the simple fact of taking a bit of time to consider the topics addressed should get you thinking about new and innovative ideas for managing your business. It is important to remember that to be useful and effective, this exercise must be done rigorously without trying to embellish the situation
