Traditional surveys give you numbers but rarely an explanation. Columbi does both. With Columbi, every person can share their perceptions in their own words – anonymously and freely – without being limited by predefined choices.
Columbi is a qualitative tool that captures emotions, reasoning and nuances, and how people cope. The result is an honest snapshot of the current situation, making it easier to see what can be improved and to recognize strengths to build on.
By letting people share, in their own words, how they perceive the current situation, Columbi captures what traditional surveys often miss – perspectives, sentiments and an assessment of the respondent’s ability to cope.
With Columbi, you will receive solid current information. A true starting point to build from.
The method is based on psychological research about how we subjectively interpret and cope with our world, mainly Shalit’s Wheel but also Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence (SOC) and Kantor’s Four-Player Model.
Columbi’s digital tool, combined with a workshop, has been tried and tested in hundreds of organizations and is scientifically validated together with leading universities and research institutes.
Columbi gives you the participants’ own words using a structured method. Each response is interpreted and graded by the person who wrote it, making the results both personal and reliable.
You will receive a report that combines insight with structure. A solid foundation for decisions, development, and improvement.
If you lead a team or manage a project, knowing how your group sees the current situation is essential to give you a true starting point.
With Columbi you gain both insight about the group’s current state and their engagement and support. Everyone is involved which improves co-operation and teamwork.
In the first week, the group answers the digital interview with the open question. In the next week, everything is compiled, the report is ready, and it’s time to discuss the results while everything is still fresh.
If truth be told, do a Columbi!
