  14. Whoare you seeking to understand? Think about: • What is this person’s role? • What are their motivators? • Who are the stakeholders that influence them?

  15. Whenis it best to talk to this person? When is the provider most readily available (times of the day, days of the week)? Have you built enough rapport with the provider to discuss difficult topics? You must have trust and openness You must ensure sufficient time to explore real needs

  16. Where, or in what situation, can you engage a provider to discuss their needs & goals? In what situations will a provider be more open to speaking sincerely and sharing information? • A “social” setting – e.g. on a break from clients, getting a snack or lunch? • In a scheduled appointment at his/her clinic? • With or without clients or assistants nearby?
