Approach

1. Qualitative Needs Assessment

• Design non-leading questions
• Interview leaders
• Compile trends

2. Quantitative Needs Assessment

• Collect data
• Perform data analysis
• Review trends

3. Compare Qualitative and Quantitative needs

• Are there similar trends?
• Is there an actual issue?
• Will technology help or hurt the needs?

4. Design solution for needs

• Create a hypothesis
• Create a tech solution to test feasibility
• Quantitatively evaluate solution
• Try to find a simpler solution, but must still address root cause

5. Run real-world trial

• Create a process for the solution
• Follow process
• Collect qualitative data from participants
• Collect quantitative data from technology
• Iterate based on feedback

6. Compile report

• Analyze Qualitative and Quantitative data.
• Test hypothesis
• Write report
