Expert Interviews
There is nothing more valuable than information about experiences directly from humans, not books, not internet. Through interviews with subject experts, you can get insights about your topic/problem that cannot be found elsewhere.

Step by Step Instructions
#1
Contact the expert you have identified, who can provide you with valuable information.
#2
Decide if the interview should be in person or online and duration.
#3
Prepare questions by doing extensive research into what the expert specializes in and ask smart questions (or at least not redundant questions).
#4
Carefully note down key points from their answers. This can be done by another team member in the same call.
How did I use it?
This tool came in handy for the research phase of my MA Strategic Design 1st semester. The project was related to climate change and as a team(3 members) we were able to collect huge amount of data on the subject, requirement, client and target group.
Expert interviews helped us gain deeper knowledge into the problem and explore avenues that otherwise would not have been apparent.
