FEEL RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Evaluation of current emotional state of the company Identification of key emotions C. DO RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Identification of behavioral habits Reveal participation in company and external programs D. IC and Special Issues RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Assess current status and specifics of IC including needs, sources and tools. Examining special issues.

  32. Research Considerations • Our TFD research can include survey (online, offline), focus groups and management interviews. • Since the research itself ‘communicates’, extra care is taken of how it is organized, promoted, conducted and its results revealed.

  33. Key strategic challenges are identified and explained. • How Think, Feel and Do score and compare with each other? • Which key issues arise as a cross-section of TFD and how can they be addressed? • Are there any groups within the company that need special attention?

  34. DISASTER ZONE THINK FEEL DO Organizations in the disaster zone need to RADICALLY rethink their whole model

  35. DIFFICULT ZONE THINK FEEL DO Organizations in the difficult zone need to FAST improve their practices

  36. GOOD ZONE THINK FEEL DO Organizations in the good zone need to retain good practices… … and have one way to go
