After completing a project, your survey results should not be put in a drawer and never looked at again. Strong organizations understand the value in having a survey program in place; exceptional organizations know they can continue to gauge progress through identifying trends from survey data.
Being able to compare the results of surveys (whether they be satisfaction surveys, training evaluations or another type of market research survey) can add a lot of value to your processes and your organization as a whole. Think of the competitive advantage organizations have when they are able to spot trends and make adjustments in a proactive manner, rather than scrambling to adapt at the last minute reactively.
It's always better to adjust to change on your own accord rather than being forced to do so. Identifying trends early based on gathered feedback allows companies to adjust pricing, product features, advertising, manufacturing processes, etc.
Consider the following example:

If you look at the comparison of the informational value of webinars over the last two years, you'll note that the value of the material being presented is growing. As a surveyor, this feedback will allow you evaluate your material, how it has changed and how you should move forward in the coming year.
With a web-based survey tool such as Cvent, looking at results across various questionnaires over time is a simple task. Such online survey tools allow surveyors to quickly and easily collect data and view real–time reports, even while the survey is still going on!
