This pre-recorded webinar offers a structured, supportive approach to gathering reliable accounts from people on what has previously happened. It also aligns with systems‑based models such as SEIPS to ensure SLRs are grounded in evidence rather than opinion. Additionally it strengthens your ability to speak to people in emotionally sensitive situations while building confidence, reducing bias, and improving the quality of insights feeding into SLR findings.
