Very important is to visualize your information now. Take a whiteboard or a wall and start to post the thoughts and Information on it. You can take post-ist for example. Put a note on a post-it and put it somewhere on the wall. No Need to sort them yet. Just collect and visualize what you have. Do what you are comfortable with. If you did Video interviews just create a quick summary note about the main thought of the Speaker. After you have everything on the wall you can go to the next step.

Define Topics and Groups

We spoke already about questions and Topics in the 2nd step. These thoughts are now important. Take a Card and put a Topic on it. Now put this Card also on the wall to define a Topic. Next you will arrange the post-ist around these Topics. Collect Posts which are the same and double. At the end will have some Topics and Groups of thoughts and Information.
