I thought it would be useful to post something about cooperative inquiry
before we meet next week. The idea of a co-operative inquiry came up at
Exeter as a possible way to deepen our understanding of complexity issues.
There was a feeling that Tufton should move beyond being a talking shop
about complexity and a co-operative inquiry was suggested as one way
forward. Personally I think that a co-operative inquiry would provide a
good way to develop a deeper understanding of what complexity means in
practice and would be a good prelude to more formal studies. My own
experience of a co-operative inquiry was that it was a great way to test
and develop conceptual models and to find out what the real life problems
and opportunities in a particular area were.
The aim of hte session that I am facilitating next week is to decide
whether this is something we want to do or not.
All the best
Paul

Apologies from me for nov 28. I agree with Chris, it would be good to move
into looking at research methods in more depth. I know that is on the
agenda this time with the co-operative enquiry and I am keen to know how
this goes and what the conclusions are. Do we need to hear from some of
these "computer modelling bods". There were some interesting letters on the
BMJ website from some following the complexity articles.
