3.  Good Research Begins in the "Library"
 

  • By "library" we mean existing information/knowledge:

    • Internal data and databases

    • Your past studies

    • Published materials

    • Access to experts

  • Organizations have a lot of information -- but not as much intelligence.

  • Listening carefully to people who are involved in research, within the organization and outside of it, can often lead to valuable sources of information.

  • Previous studies can be examined and used to better inform the goals of current work.

  • This work can often sharpen the focus and the scope of any additional research that needs to be done.

  • We have had the experience that no additional work needed to be done.
