Feel free to request the templates laura@thehiddenedge.co.uk. I am happy to share.

1. Consider the difference between the three skills of analysing, interpreting and reporting

5. List the findings that negate your assumptions

6. Consider the learning outcomes and if appropriate test new findings

7. Pull the exercise together in a written report.  The activity of writing things down gives enormous clarity of thinking

Please do share your experiences with these models in the comments below.  I am building a portfolio of small business case studies and would love to include examples of what has worked well for you.
