Details
This approach uses a structured facilitation guide to undertake a series of interview-based discovery conversations with a broad range of relevant professionals. The conversations intend to:
- be a deep dive into the reality of a current state,
- understand the priorities and viewpoints of individuals working in the system,
- stimulate thinking around a certain topic,
- surface key characteristics of successful innovation adoption,
- understand barriers to wider adoption and why variation exists,
- identify areas where innovation could provide a solution.
This results in a report that reflects what has been heard from participants and makes suggestions for opportunities for innovation and next steps.
