I recently had the opportunity to speak at an event where the attendee list was mostly comprised of change agents working in large enterprise organizations. The highlight of the evening for me was when one of the participants asked what arguments she should use to convince her stakeholders to use Qvest.

I was just about to respond when it struck me that I was in a room full of people supremely qualified to answer that exact question - so I passed the baton on to the other participants, who described that Qvest:

The Qvest tool is built to serve the participants. To qvest with others is a valuable and fun experience that strengthens teams.

The connection and commitment that is created in a Qvest comes from the exchange of questions and answers one-to-one.

Here's how one participant experienced being part of a Qvest:

"By using Qvest, we achieved two main things. one, we got really surprising information about what was on people's minds. Secondly, that knowledge was created and accumulated in the organization, so people worked with it" - Qvest user

An organization was surprised when they ran their quarterly employee engagement survey in 2018 and discovered that their employees were not as loyal to the company as they had thought. 

"There are two interesting aspects about Qvest. One is that you get insight into what's going on in your organization. The other, is that through the mapping of who talks to who, you get to know something about the organization that you would not otherwise know" - Qvest User

A public sector organization was hoping to help their organization move forward after making changes to the organizational and leadership structure. Using Qvest allowed this organization to map the workplace culture and increased trust between management and employees. 

Finn Kollerup, consultant and enthusiastic Qvest customer, answers a few questions regarding his experience using Qvest. Check out his insights on the tool and how it has benefitted him.

The title "Qvest is an idea whose time has come" is both something we at Qvest believe, and a quote from Kristian Aa Rasmussen, Head of Organizational Performance at Maersk Drilling. Kristian made the declaration when he spoke at a Qvest Masterclass in October 2018.

The idea is that if leadership truly wants to know what is on the mind of their employees, they must enable their employees to ask the questions. Control does not necessarily sit with the top, and the way leadership is thought of needs to change.
