Research Project

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Brian George McRitchie, Monday, 22 Nov 2021, 18:51

Using the mind map below, I was able to break down the context of my 'work problem' into 'The Problem', an 'Introduction and the background' of why this is a problem, 'what theories and frameworks', including evidence could be used to build on a solution and, of course 'The solution' itself, with conclusions, recommendations and summary. 

See below for my mind map:




As a result I am interested in how my organisation will manage to deliver complex engineering solutions as they look to the future (post Energy Transition) and grow out of the Oil and Gas market, concentrating on Industrial and Renewable projects and customers. However, although the ambitious growth is talked about within my organisation, the move, away from dated oil and gas related older processes are not.  

Therefore, the statement of my research project shall be:

'Why delivering complex engineering solutions to new 'Energy Transition' market segments cannot use current out dated processes'

This is great work Brian - if you could share this mind map and a little of your process in devising this in the forum as an example your fellow students I think this would be really helpful for those who were still shaping ideas - great work thanks Joanne
