tinyhumansai Stakeholder Interview
Prepare, run, and synthesize an interview so the conversation turns into evidence the team can act on.
When to use
- An engagement needs primary input from people close to the problem.
- A hypothesis needs testing against reality before the deck.
Steps
- Set the interview's goal and the two or three things you must learn.
- Write an open-ended guide that gets at the "why", not just the "what".
- Run the interview, listening for surprises and following the thread.
- Capture verbatim quotes alongside your notes.
- Synthesize into findings tied back to the engagement's questions.
Output
A short synthesis: the questions asked, the findings with supporting quotes, and what they imply for the [[Engagement checklist]].
