Personal Interviews
One-to-one interviews are conducted by appointment with individuals identified by the client.
There are a number of benefits to face-to-face interviews:
-
It is convenient for the respondent.
-
Additional, probing questions can be used to collect detailed information and move beyond an initial response.
-
There is an opportunity to observe non-verbal communication (i.e., body language, voice intonation) as part of a respondent’s feedback.
-
Forms or products can be tested in the environment in which they will be used.
Some examples of how clients have utilized personal interviews by Lane Gewecke Consulting include:
-
Exploring the feasibility of a new business venture as part of a business plan development effort.
-
Capital campaign design/feasibility studies.
-
Assessing the views of funders and stakeholders regarding proposed dramatic changes to a nonprofit organization.
-
Gathering information from key stakeholders for strategic planning
