Overview

Have you been tasked with producing an engaging report showing key messages of responses to a large consultation?  Do you have to pull together management briefings from large quantities of information?  Are you unsure where to start and how to synthesise key messages? Or, what to do with the data on completion of reporting and how to ensure you adhere to organisational sensitivities and data protection policies? Then, this training session is for you!

 

This one-day workshop will provide the practical skills for carrying out business enhancement and thematic analysis at your institution. It will look at how you collect sources of information and begin analysis of language-based data (qualitative data) from surveys and consultation responses to collection of reports and case-studies.
