Natalie shares the importance of proper planning, the use of templates, how to navigate difficult conversations with interviewees, and especially Subjects.

Key topics:

  • If you Fail to Plan Your Investigation You are Planning for Your Investigation to Fail
  • Identifying preparation strategies to improve interview documentation
  • Examining the negative impacts when investigative documentation isn’t effective and is done very poorly
  • Reviewing a strategy to get interviewees back on track after going off on tangents
  • Identifying critical details that need to be in every single document of conversation with interviewees to avoid creating holes that an investigator later needs to fill
