Five things we believe about research.
- Research is about finding out stuff – For us, it is not about generating research outputs that begin with words and end with words. We like to develop research that makes a difference in the communities and organisations we serve. Using a research framework provides a process to structure and generate learning.
Research is about engagement and development – The research process enables us to engage with people that our clients may not normally encounter, make connections and create synergies. Good research is a catalyst for community and organisational development.- Researchers use a range of tools – Most situations are complex. Complimentary tools help a research team to develop a rich story of current reality and future possibilities.
- Its best to focus on what is working – If you want to find fault you will find it, but it may not lead to useful change. Wherever possible, we take an appreciative approach – identifying what is working and building on it.
- Research design is ideally co-created – We strive to develop research alongside the communities we are working with.
