Our process draws on best practices in qualitative research and has been refined over the years in response to client feedback.
- Initial Meeting with the Engagement Sponsor: We begin with an initial meeting with the engagement sponsor to discuss the scope of the survey and determine the relevant stakeholders to include in the interviews.
- Interviews with Relevant Stakeholders: Next, we conduct up to 12 telephone interviews with the identified stakeholders, which may include managers, peers, direct reports, and others who have direct experience with the subject of the survey.
- Transcription of the Calls: We then transcribe each interview to ensure that all feedback is accurately captured.
- Analysis of the Transcriptions: We analyze the transcriptions to identify common themes and patterns in the feedback.
- Report-Writing: We write a comprehensive report based on the feedback gathered from the stakeholders. The report includes an analysis of strengths and areas for improvement, as well as recommendations for development.
- Debrief of the Report with the Client: We meet with the client to review the report and provide feedback. The debrief session may include a discussion of the findings, clarification of any questions, and the identification of next steps.
- Development Planning: You then use the report to develop a plan for your leadership development based on the recommendations provided.
- Triad Call with Sponsor: We arrange a triad call with the sponsor to discuss the results of the survey, review the development plan, and ensure that you're on track to achieve your leadership goals.
