As previously described, 13 individuals from throughout the department took part in this aspect of the study.
From the analysis of the interview data 35 separate areas requiring change were discovered and 15 feasible
interventions were put forward. What will be evidenced next are the most prominent areas requiring change, as
well as the most attainable interventions which were also brought forward.
4) Results
The results of the analysis of the thirteen interviews conducted are presented next. An example of the
question asked per interview section is given, together with the most indicative results from the analysis. Finally,
explanations and quotations illustrating each of the main points gained are given in order to make clear the
context and meaning of the results.
4a) Areas Working Well
“Over the last couple of working weeks, have there been any areas of your work, the organisation,
communication in the organisation etc that have made your work particularly stand out for the better”
As previously demonstrated, this question was designed to assess the first two steps in the Appreciative Inquiry
cycle. It is designed to find out the areas of the workplace which are working well and how they can be transferred
to other areas that are not working as well.
