Great and excellent workshop at DoctorateHub, Porto, Portugal! Very well organised and particularly useful learning and information delivered in a brilliant style. I would highly endorse and recommend the Porto Workshop to research students that are interested in improving their research thesis and in growing their research “scissor”. Overall, the learning environment was conducive and Porto, a beautiful city……

Advanced Course: Tackling Wicked Problems – or how to nail jelly to the wall.

It was a good 8 weeks, though I would have loved to have had this module during my DBA programs theoretical stage ...or even during one of the DBA DDP’s (Doctoral Development Plan).

A key learnings for me was to keep the focus on the problem, and not get diverted towards a solution based approach. 

The mirroring technique and the table shared in the module will be an useful tool for candidates to compare and ensure that relevant points have been reflected on and addressed in the respective sections of the thesis.

I see myself using the table for communicating how triangulation has been supportive both at the data collection and analysis stage of the thesis. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the team at the DoctorateHub for your time and patience and appreciate your feedback and comments that have ensured further clarity in my thesis. Wishing everyone the best in their future endeavours.

Advanced Course: Tackling Wicked Problems – or how to nail jelly to the wall

The wicked problem course was very fruitful for self-development and thesis progression.

Its structure facilitated progressive learning that built up well for the final write up in week 8.

It has enhanced my understanding of the thesis requirements.

Overall, the course was of great value because the resultant knowledge gain can be leveraged into thesis chapters.
