This weekend’s project: get started on writing my big keynote lecture on research methods for understanding health systems. What am I missing? I think an accessible book on getting reliable data in real time and visualising it. Suggestions please!
7 books: Czarniawska on narratives in organisations, Tsoukas on complex knowledge, Cartwright on case study, Checklamd on soft systems, Donella Meadows on systems thinking, Peirce/Dewey on pragmatism, Benjamin Black ‘Belly Woman’
