Interviews

The headline: Good interviewing is really hard

High level interviewing requires commercial experience plus post-graduate qualifications to provide deep understanding of people, teams and businesses. Interviewing skills picked up ‘on the job' are usually a messy mix of personal heuristic, bias and assumed skill; certainly insufficient for high-quality business interrogation.  Relying on interviewing experience is a general liability.

Meanwhile, advanced, skilled interviewers will tap into the commercial brain of your organization. Interviewers who have been trained and are qualified at post graduate level in this subtle and difficult discipline.  Skilled interviewers will find strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that that will be missed by just about every other business tool.
