| Summary |
"In this chapter, we introduce the idea of a new framework for research. Within our writing, we define our framework as a model for practice that can be used by people within the organization: these could be leaders, colleagues, researcher-practitioners, and evaluators to improve practice and solve problems in context. The book is about providing support for the thousands of people in organizations who are tasked with finding and solving problems, whether they are formal internal evaluators or not. Our book will enhance organizational capacity to understand and develop these frameworks. Our goal is to introduce this integrated framework in a way that you, our readers can see its connection to your settings, and apply the underlying shared positions and principles to your own work. Finally, the described model serves as the foundation upon which all other chapters' contents have been developed"-- Provided by publisher |
