I'd like to schedule a one-hour webconference interview with each Advisory or Core partner representative, to amplify, discuss, and build on your survey responses. At minimum, the key contact from each partner should attend the interview. (If you would like others to attend with
you, they are welcome, but please indicate your scheduling preference representing the group as-a-whole) .
To sign up for an interview time, please go to https://doodle.com/poll/h25pandmbsp5rf44. Once you sign up for a time, I’ll send a calendar invite to all anticipated attendees with a Zoom link and further instructions. If the days/times offered are truly impossible for you, please let me know at [email protected].
Please ensure that you have completed the survey prior to your scheduled interview; the interview questions build on and amplify your responses. If you would like the interview questions ahead of time, please contact me.
Then What?
After December 21, I'll begin to prepare the profile. All Advisory and Core partners will receive a draft in early January for comment/correction. Based on those comments and corrections, I anticipate finalizing and posting a final version of the profile by late January/early February.. I look forward to talking with you in the coming weeks!
Best, Jodi AB Consulting https://consulting.allison-bunnell.net [email protected] ! Scheduling response Hello PERSON:
Thank you for signing up for an interview on DATE! I have just sent you a calendar invite with Zoom information; please make sure that you got it and that it didn’t go to your spam folder. If you’re not seeing it, please let me know and I’ll re-send it in another format.
Please make sure that you complete the survey by DATE so that I can review your responses prior to the interview.
I’m looking forward to talking with you! Best, Jodi Jodi Allison-Bunnell AB Consulting http://consulting.allison-bunnell.net Missoula, MT, USA Day-Before message Hello PERSON:
I’m looking forward to talking with you ON DATE. Here’s an overview of what to expect. The interviews I’ve done so far have tended to run either right to an hour or about ten minutes over. I’ve given us an hour and a quarter, but if you need to stop at exactly an hour, please just let me know and we’ll make it work.
We’ll be using Zoom (need some basics? See https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/ 201362193-How-Do-I-Join-A-Meeting-), and you should already have the meeting link in your calendar invitation. Please ensure that your computer microphone and camera are working, and if you’re only able to join by phone, please let me know ahead of time. If there are more than two of us meeting, please ensure that everyone attends from their own computer. Otherwise the sound quality suffers.
We’ll spend our time thus:
● First, review and clarify your survey responses, as needed. I’ll have some follow-up questions to enable our discussion.
● Second, I have some additional questions that are best addressed in an interview. To review, we’re asking you to speak for the program and its aggregation rather than for your institution or as an individual. We’ll ask you to provide information to the best of your ability, including speaking frankly of of successes and failures, and political/power situations; and understand that the information they provide will largely be public. If it is beneficial to shield some information from attribution or public view, please discuss with me and I’ll make provisions that are both comfortable for you and in the best interest of the project.
I will be recording our interview, but only to ensure that my notes from the interview are accurate and complete. The recordings will be stored on my computer only, and I will destroy them at the conclusion of the project.
If you have any questions, requests, or concerns, please let me know at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing more about NAME OF AGGREGATION! Best, Jodi Jodi Allison-Bunnell AB Consulting http://consulting.allison-bunnell.net Missoula, MT, USA !
Profile Review
Dear PERSON:As I promised when last we talked, here’s the profile of NAME OF AGGREGATION for your review: LINK.
I apologize for the delay; the combination of holidays and a broken wrist has slowed me considerably.
A few notes on how I produced this document, and next steps for you:
● The document is a merge of your survey responses and my notes from the interview. If, during the interview, you modified or clarified a survey response, I have edited
accordingly.
● The most important thing is that it should accurately represent your organization. If I misconstrued anything, please correct me!
● I have flagged some things where I was missing information or was unclear for your attention.
● I asked you to speak frankly, and appreciate you doing so. I have used my judgment to excise some comments that you may not wish to have attributed to either you or your organization (but have retained them for use, without identifying information, in the main report). This will be a public document, and I’d like to be sure that you are comfortable with how your responses are represented.
The sharing settings should allow anyone with the link to edit, so if you need any colleagues to review it, please feel free to do so. Edit directly, comment, or both; I have the version history if I have questions or concerns.
If you could complete your reviews by DATE, that would keep us moving. If that is too short a time, please propose a different date and I’ll work with it.
Please let me know where you have questions, and thank you! Best, Jodi
