Notes:
There is great emphasis in local authorities for strategydevelopment to reflect the characteristics and views of a localpopulace. Initiating research which effectively supports strategydevelopment is problematic, as the gaps in strategists' knowledge of apopulace are not self-evident. Examines the problems of initiatingeffective research which can support strategy development, and thebarriers existing in local authorities which can prevent the successfuldevelopment of research. Presents a format for a research brief that isseen as a means to develop negotiations between the strategist and theresearcher. The brief is seen as a means to test the nature of skills inproblem diagnosis and data interpretation of the researcher, in additionto their skills of measurement. It is a test of what the researcher canbring to the demanding tasks of strategy development.
