This document discusses interview techniques and best practices. It covers types of interviews like structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. It also discusses training interviewers to avoid bias, preparing for an interview with topics like confidentiality and format, asking questions with the right sequence and type, analyzing interviews, and considering the strengths and weaknesses of interviews. The overall goal is to help researchers conduct effective qualitative interviews.

With this presentation I share my experience as a lean investor and lean startup trainer, a subject that I thoroughly believe in.
However, this approach is not a cure-all. This means that an overwhelming majority of ideas for startups or corporates will fail regardless of how you approach it. My goal is to show you how to find this out as fast as possible and with the least effort. I point out the many pitfalls when working with Lean Startup/Lean Innovation and how to avoid them.
The focus is on how to find out whether you have targeted the right customer segment and if not, how to iterate with problem & solution interviews between the Problem, Solution and the Customer Segment Fields of the Lean Canvas until you have reached the Problem/Solution Fit.

In writing about your research when you have completed the project you need an explanation of your methodology so that others can understand the significance of what you have done and make sense of how it all worked. The methodology piece says why you did what you did. It also enables you to write about what you did not do and why, and about the weaknesses or limitations of your project as well as its strengths. Every research has a limitation of some sort and it is perfectly acceptable to identify the weaknesses of your own study.

3. Definition
The qualitative research interview seeks to describe and the
meanings of central themes in the life world of the subjects. The
main task in interviewing is to understand the meaning of what
the interviewees say. (Kvale,1996)
An interview is a conversation between two or more people
where questions are asked by the interviewer to elicit facts or
statements from the interviewee
5. Structured Interviews
have explicit research goals
Are similar to a verbal approximation of a
survey questionnaire
Allow for easy comparison between
participants
Responses are shaped by the researcher
7. Unstructured Interviews
have an implicit research agenda
Are similar to ‘steered conversations’ or ‘conversations with
a purpose’
Questions emerge typically from the conversation
Skill is in finding the most appropriate time to ask questions
Choosing which type of interview to use depends on
the nature of the research and who you are
interviewing.
Interviews can move from being structured at the
beginning to more unstructured at the end
8. Types of interview
Informal, conversational interview / unstructured -no
predetermined questions are asked, in order to remain as
open and adaptable as possible to the interviewee’s nature
and priorities; during the interview the interviewer “goes
with the flow”.
general interview guide approach /structured -the guide
approach is intended to ensure that the same general areas
of information are collected from each interviewee; this
provides more focus than the conversational approach, but
stilallows a degree of freedom and adaptability in getting
the information from the interviewee.
9. Cont.
Standardized, open-ended interview -the same open-ended
questions are asked to all interviewees; this approach
facilitates faster interviews that can be more easily analyzed
and compared.
. Closed, fixed-response interview -where all interviewees are
asked the same questions and asked to choose answers
from among the same set of alternatives. This format is
useful for those not practiced in interviewing
10. Techniques of interview
Telephone interview
Face to face interview
Penal interview
Informal, conversational interview
Group interview
Stress interview
11. Types of Interview Questions (1)
Degree of focus
‘grand-tour questions:
Could you show me around the building?’
‘What are the general purposes of this room?’
These enable a broad picture to be obtained
Specific questions:
‘Please tell me more about …’
These help to find out more specific information
12. Types of Interview Questions (2)
Degree of open-endedness
Open-ended
‘How do you feel about …’
Used to discover participant’s perception of the
situation. Allows participants to interpret
questions their own way. Allows new questions to
be generated.
Closed questions
‘Do you agree with the idea that …’
Restricts participant’s response. Useful to
confirm findings
13. Types of Interview Questions (3)
Types of information
Descriptive
Could you tell me what happened that evening?
Structured
‘What factors do you think are involved in …?’
Contrast
‘In what way has the course improved since last year?’
Clarification
‘You talk about how objects represent people. Can you clarify
for me what you mean?’
Follow-up
‘You mentioned organising space in the gallery. Can you tell me
how you organise the display space?’
14. Training of the Interviewer
Since the interviewer can control the
quality of the result his/her training
becomes crucial.
It is important to organize in detail and
rehearse the interviewing process
before beginning the formal study.
15. Points for Interviewer Training
Describe the entire study -interviewers need to know more
than simply how to conduct the interview itself. They
should have background of the study and why the study is
important.
Explain the sampling logic & process -naïve interviewer
may not understand why sampling is so important. They
may wonder why you go through all the difficulties of
.
selecting the sample so carefully
16. Interviewer Bias
Interviewer needs to know the many ways
that they can inadvertently bias the results.
Understand why it is important that they not
bias the study.
By slanting the results they might jeopardize
the results or purpose of the study.
17. Preparation for Interview
Choose a setting with the least distraction.
Explain the purpose of the interview.
Address terms of confidentiality.
Explain the format of the interview.
Indicate how long the interview usually takes.
Provide contact information of the interviewer.
Allow interviewee to clarify any doubts about the
interview.
Prepare a method for recording data, e.g., take notes.
18. Sequence of Questions
Get the respondents involved in the interview as soon as
possible.
Before asking about controversial matters, first ask about some
facts.
Intersperse fact-based questions throughout the interview.
Ask questions about the present before questions about the
past
or future.
The last questions might be to allow respondents to provide any
other information they prefer to add and their impressions of the
interview.
19. Stages of Interview
Investigation
Thematizing - the why and what of the investigation.
Designing -plan the design of the study.
Interviewing -conduct the interview based on a guide.
Transcribing -prepare the interview material for analysis.
Analyzing -decide on the purpose, the topic, the nature and
methods of analysis that are appropriate.
Verifying -ascertain the validity of the interview findings.
Reporting -communicate findings of the study based on
scientific criteria.
20. After the Interview
Verify if the tape recorder, if used, worked throughout the
interview.
Make any notes on your written notes.
Write down any observations made during the interview.
21. Strengths & weakness
Strengths
depth of detail
Unique advantge
