This keynote covers following topics:
We’re not sick of surveys…
Survey Fatigue is really about the lack of visible follow-through once a survey has been conducted. But surveys are just one way to find out how things are going in your community; effective data collection is layered and a mix of silly and ridiculous and serious number crunching.
Radical Listening
Radical Listening means taking every chance you can to ask the opinions of your community on any issue that is open for input. From the small (what sort of muffins do we serve?) to the large (how many days a week do we return to the office?). The key is immediate, visible delivery within 48 hours. This builds trust in the data collection system as a whole and at the same time, creates a more accurate picture of the current state of engagement.
A Mindset and a Methodology
Radical Listening is a structured way of approaching the problem of understanding the community, and at the same time a shift in our way of thinking. Good listening campaigns are based on parallel tracks: the “Listen and Deliver” tight loop and the slow-burning Deep Listen, and many in between. All with very different goals, delivering different kinds of data, but together form a more accurate picture of the current state of engagement.
