The Form Nobody Fills In Properly (and Why)
When a form is routinely incomplete, the form is usually the problem. How to find out why before blaming staff.
Ask the People Who Fill It In
Ask three staff what they dislike about the form. Common answers: too long, unclear questions, fields that do not apply, information that lives somewhere else. Their answers tell you what to fix.
Cut, Clarify, Test
Remove fields that nobody uses, reword unclear questions and try the new version with a small group. Keep a change log so staff know what is different.
