There are many different potential routes to evaluate someone's perspective towards any particular organizational objective. In any given project, it is important to evaluate the key stakeholders in order to have a sense of their level of support for a project.

These interviews will be informal, conversational interviews and no predetermined questions will be created. However, there can be a few questions designed to get the conversation rolling but most of the interview will be adaptable towards the participants and their individual contributions. Given this format, it will…
