INVESTIGATOR TRAINING
QUESTION LIKE AN INSPECTOR
A short, targeted two-hour online workshop that allows us to transfer the best of our questioning techniques to you in a "civilized", business-friendly version.
Practical objectives
Establish the right climate of trust, identify your objective and prepare an appropriate questioning grid.
​
Use the best questioning strategy depending on the interlocutor, climate and objectives, and identify contradictions.
​
Use non-verbal communication to identify clues to contradictions (these are clues, not certainties; lies are not so easily detected).
Themes and content
The first 20 minutes:
Create a climate that facilitates mutually trusting communication, prepare questions in funnel mode or Landry mode, identify attitudes related to spontaneous, sincere, unaffected responses and use them as a reference grid, take notes without writing, adjust question preparation.
Questioning:
Closed and open questions, validation questions, factual questions, curiosity questions, naivety questions, provocation questions, follow-up questions, assertive questions.
Practical exercise comparing different strategies.
Complementary analyses and discussion conclusions:
Strengths and weaknesses of non-verbal observation, voice intonations, live lexical analysis (anything but academic!), fact-focused conclusion, maintaining trust and summarizing facts.
