For those that have conducted stakeholder (18 to 20 people) interviews across depts. within the same organization asking 7 to 10 questions per person, what approach are you taking to theme the data?

I like think about what sort of data I want out of it (esp if the exec leadership is keen on visuals) then I break down the questions pretty granularly in a table so I can key responses as they speak.
Another thing I do is anticipate responses/themes and ask questions to see if they agrees/disagree with those statements. Or with responses of previous interviewees. You have to be careful not to ask leading questions, but after a while you do get a feel for what people are going to say.

It helps to have a great note taker capture everything quickly and also be capable of jumping in real time to follow up on gaps in the responses.

Qualitative data is really tough. But also really powerful for storytelling.

we use analysts to theme data... they read everything and come up with themes

This is the sort of question worth answering before you do the interviews so that you craft your questions with some organizing framework in mind.

This is why I report to u Daddy D

What do you mean theme the data?

It might make sense to have an assessment tracker that is broken out by department. This way you can keep track of what each party said and use this as substantiation for your overall narrative.

Maybe consider doing a top 10 findings or themes based all departments

Using a framework? Need more context for strategy

Generally a SWOT and then break it down further based on times mentioned. All questions should be exploratory and neutral.

I’ve tied back responses to elements of a target operating model before (people, process, reporting, governance, technology)

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I became a mom and four months down, head of new business (guy) in my company and the HR (lady) interviewed me for an exec leadership role. Obviously I was excited for the interview but…. the interview went well with the guy and I felt the role was made for me. However, the lady kept bringing back the topic that ‘I am a mom and need to focus on my family’ again and again and again. Honestly it was unnerving. The feedback I received from HR (lady) was we felt you won’t be able <cont. in comments>

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
