Business or organisational workshops are a valuable platform for information gathering and sharing. Whether a workshop audience comprises of internal stakeholders (e.g. staff) or external stakeholders (e.g. customers), the value of such sessions is enhanced when the discourse is properly captured, analysed, and packaged. Workshop reports stand a better chance of being read, assimilated, and implemented by key role players and decision makers when they are well-packaged.
Our Workshoper™ package is a discourse processing service wherein we record, transcribe, and conduct thematic analysis of speeches, comments, and other forms of discourse from business workshops, conferences, and other such gatherings. We thus use the term “workshop” broadly to describe different types of organised meetings or gatherings.
This service offering entails a four-phase process of 1)- data collection 2)- data processing 3)- data analysis and 4)- report writing. To reduce costs and/or to fit in with client’s organisational protocol, the data collection phase can be done internally and independently by the workshop organisers and facilitators, with the data sent to us afterwards for processing, analysis, and reporting. The information can be collected in various ways, depending on the nature of the workshop and client preferences. The common data formats that we work with are audio, video, transcripts, notes, papers, and questionnaires.
The final output are informative and analytical reports that go beyond just raw and unstructured verbatim transcripts of the workshop proceedings and discourse.
