How do you avoid the inevitable sense of overwhelm that pervades at the start of a thematic review? In this workshop we consider methodologies that enable the review to maintain its focus on the high level ideas. 

There are other challenges around these reviews remaining inclusive & to bring them to conclusion in a timely way.

Today’s episode allows you to access a summary of the workshop I offered alongside Kate Spreadbury, which considers these challenges.
