Some engagements start with a few assessment interviews. Sometimes, I will schedule all the assessment interviews. It is a lot of work to (1) decide who to interview and (2) align everyone agenda. Therefore, many times, I will facilitate a simple activity so a group of people (together) decide and schedule the assessment interviews.
Scheduling assessment Interviews – activity.
In order to help planning the work ahead and measure the improvements brought by this engagement, we will conduct interviews with the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and the people related to it. We will run interviews, structure our notes and present the assessment result.
