WELCOME…
When Dr Marie Curie was met with doubts from others, she pressed forward with courage and continued with her research, that led her to being the only woman to win two Nobel Prizes for science. Howard Florey’s work on penicillin was invaluable – a great leader, he believed in teamwork. As a result of the research and dedication of his team, millions of lives are saved every day. Penicillin totally revolutionized medical science.
If we look at the way research applications have revolutionized our world in the last 100 years, imagine what we will see in the next century! In your work, you need to gain information through solid research, that provides facts and support for sound judgements and effective decisions. Successful people, like Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, George Stephenson and others, converted problems into solutions. They did so by conducting effective research to understand the issues, and to gain feedback on their ideas. This resource provides you with the essential concepts and methodology for conducting research. Combined with the Margerison Communication and Problem Solving Resource you will have the framework for developing effective research.
You can improve your approach to Communication and Problem Solving (CPS), by using key research factors, that have been shown to be vital in all professional roles. Using the Margerison CPS Model, these factors provide guide points to the five big skills of Enquiry, Diagnosis, Proposing, Coordinating and Summarizing. This will enable you to focus on how to gain the relevant information. By using this as a guide for the thinking and action, and following the key research principles and practices, it will be easier to clarify problems and develop solutions more effectively, via discussions and decisions.
In the following video presentation, you are introduced to the Margerison Communication and Problem Solving Model.
