1 Choose your objectives and participants

Before you conduct a focus group, you need to define your objectives and select your participants. What do you want to achieve with the focus group? Do you want to inform, persuade, or consult your employees about your culture change vision? Do you want to understand their concerns, expectations, or suggestions? Based on your objectives, you need to choose a suitable number and type of participants that reflect the diversity and relevance of your workforce. You may want to use a mix of random and purposive sampling methods to ensure that you have a balanced and representative group.

Since the culture of an organization impacts all personnel, it is imperative that the focus group represent the many layers within the organization. While the perspectives of those at the executive leader level are often sought, the voices of those considered ‘boots on the ground’ should also be included. Having representation from entry, mid and upper level personnel can provide cross-institutional perspectives that can yield a robust discussion and helpful knowledge sharing. Likewise, when formulating focus group questions the desired data should be considered to properly guide the discussion.

2 Prepare your questions and materials

Once you have your objectives and participants, you need to prepare your questions and materials for the focus group. Your questions should be open-ended, clear, and relevant to your culture change vision. You should avoid leading, biased, or ambiguous questions that may influence or confuse your participants. You should also prepare some prompts or probes to encourage deeper or more specific responses. Additionally, you may want to use some visual or audio materials, such as videos, posters, or podcasts, to illustrate or reinforce your culture change vision and stimulate discussion.

3 Facilitate the focus group

The next step is to facilitate the focus group in a way that creates a comfortable and productive environment for your participants. You should choose a suitable location, time, and duration for the focus group, and ensure that you have all the necessary equipment and resources. You should also introduce yourself and the purpose of the focus group, and explain the ground rules and expectations. During the focus group, you should act as a moderator, not a presenter or a judge. Your role is to guide the conversation, not to dominate or influence it. You should listen actively, ask follow-up questions, and manage the dynamics and interactions among the participants.

It's important not to miss any information from the meeting as you will have to analyze all the feedback later on. In regards to this, I'd recommend to have several facilitators or at least a helper, who will help you to collect all the data and opinions. They also may take notes and additional observations.

4 Analyze and report the results

The final step is to analyze and report the results of the focus group. You should record and transcribe the focus group, and identify the main themes, patterns, and insights that emerge from the data. You should also compare and contrast the results with other sources of information, such as surveys, interviews, or observations, to validate or challenge your findings. You should then prepare a concise and clear report that summarizes the key points, highlights the implications, and provides recommendations for action. You should also share the report with your participants and stakeholders, and acknowledge their contributions and feedback.

Focus groups are a valuable tool to communicate your culture change vision and engage your employees in the process. By using focus groups, you can gain a deeper understanding of your employees' perspectives, address their concerns, and generate their buy-in and commitment. Focus groups can also help you to refine and improve your culture change vision and strategy, and monitor and evaluate your progress and impact.

In my experience, it is crucial to create actions and goals around the results and key takeaways. Additionally, the goals must be measurable. Be sure to develop key performance indicators (KPIs.)
