Cross-Department Performance & Collaboration Review

Captures how internal stakeholders experience working with a specific department — responsiveness, quality, communication, and reliability — plus a trade-off exercise on what to fix first. An AI follow-up interview reconstructs a specific recent interaction behind the numbers so leaders get concrete, fixable detail instead of vague ratings.

Q07
AI Interview

Reconstruct the most recent specific interaction the respondent had with this department (a request, project, or handoff): what they needed, what actually happened, and what went well or fell short. Anchor closely on the reason behind their recommendation score and the trade-off item they picked as most important to improve. If they rated performance as declining, probe what changed and when; if it's their first real interaction, ask what would build confidence going forward.

Thank you for the detailed feedback! Your responses will be compiled into a department performance report shared with team leads to guide concrete improvements.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Goes beyond static ratings with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the specific recent interaction behind a respondent's scores, giving leaders concrete, fixable detail instead of vague averages.
  • Includes a trade-off exercise (max-diff) that forces respondents to prioritize what to fix first versus rating everything as equally important.
  • Combines quantitative tracking (matrix ratings, recommend-likelihood, change-over-time question) with qualitative depth (open-ended start/stop/keep and the AI-reconstructed interaction) in one flow.
  • Segments feedback by requester department, interaction frequency, and tenure, so results can be sliced by who is experiencing the friction and how often.

SurveyMonkey

Department Performance Survey Template

A static, fielding-ready template built specifically for rating how stakeholders experience working with an internal department, making it the most directly comparable template found. It relies on fixed rating-scale and open-text questions rather than any adaptive interviewing. As with most SurveyMonkey templates, it's meant to be customized before use rather than run as-is.

What it does well

  • Purpose-built for the same core use case: internal stakeholders rating a department's performance
  • Backed by a large, well-known survey platform with broad distribution and reporting tooling
  • Likely quick to deploy given SurveyMonkey's drag-and-drop template editor

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up interview to reconstruct the specific recent interaction behind a low or high score — respondents just leave ratings
  • No built-in trade-off/prioritization exercise (like max-diff) to surface what to fix first versus what's merely nice-to-have
  • No transparent, publishable interview prompts or automated per-response quality scoring — quality control is left to the researcher
