10:00 AM - 12:15 PM, Monday 6 July 2020
This participative workshop will help you to identify key outcomes and objectives of your research and map out realistic and achievable alternative routes to achieving them.
The focus will be on how you can re-plan activities that will achieve those intended outcomes and explore problem-solving skills and flexible approaches that will help you adapt to change.
The workshop will be lead by Dr Sabina Strachan who will work with you through a number of glucard(TM) brainstorming, planning, problem-solving and optioneering tools which you will be able to refine, adapt and review for use throughout your PhD. She will graphically illustrate concepts and demonstrate tools by sharing live visualisations.
You will use real examples and processes that are accessible, visual and hands on and mindful of the present context. The workshop will adapt to your needs and enable small group/pair discussion and peer learning.
The workshop will help free your creative thinking by getting draft strategies down on paper, give you practical tools and tangible examples, and grow your capabilities and confidence to take actions forward.
