For you to have a better understanding about what to expect at the webinar we are going to post a teaser for each of the ten key points in the days ahead. Today we introduce: #6 Benchmarking Opportunities: Learning together and learning from how others do. Benchmarking is a great way to learn from and with others and to orientate and compare oneself. Learning from others is important. Hence, scientific conferences and other methods of meeting other researchers working in your discipline is an essential element of academia. Continual benchmarking throughout your doctorate is highly recommended. However, knowing where to go and who to meet may be daunting. Therefore, well designed doctoral programmes provide structured means for benchmarking with those at the same development stages, and with those already further ahead. So do not forget to check out what your prospective programme is offering to you in this regard. That’s it for today and we are looking forward seeing you tomorrow on: #7 Progress Measurement: Availability of regular control points and tracking progress. 🔗 Register Here https://lnkd.in/egE97hVW #PhDLife #DBA #HigherEducation #AcademicJourney #Webinar #Research #DoctorateHub FOLLOW DoctorateHub for more insights on the doctorate research journey!

Very relevant point indeed. Once I took my doctorate I was provided with ample of benchmarking opportunities, which was providing me indeed with guidance and allowed me to understand how the various things relate and belong to each other. Thus you might want to give this topic some well deserved consideration.

Today we introduce: #9 Viva Preparation: Why it all boils down to the Viva – and how to prepare for that day well ahead of time. You are either a doctor or you are not. It is all about the passing of the Viva. However, well prepared students are actually those that don’t need that much time for Viva preparation. The reason for such is that they’ve learnt what it takes to survive the doctoral journey and understand what’s ahead in order to reach the end point. Well prepared students will have discussed, presented, defended, and adjusted their research continuously through their research journey. Well prepared students will have a clear understanding about what worked well and what did not, and how things have progressed and changed over time. Therefore, it is important that doctoral programmes provide both: structured means that allow students to get prepared through their research journey, as well as a supportive learning environment that keeps a record of the personal developments. That’s it for today and we are looking forward seeing you tomorrow our last topic: #10.

A DBA thesis is intended to provide actionable knowledge that can be applied by businesses. However, a DBA is still a research degree, and questions must be framed around problems rather than solutions.

Today we introduce: #3 Mastering the Trio: Understanding and navigating the research-problem / research question / outcome expectation trio. If the outcome expectation of the research is “our organisation must be more innovative”, then students often put forward research questions, such as “how could our organisation be more innovative?” Unfortunately, this question is however not framed in a way that it explores any research problem, but just asks for a solution. And while we do want a solution, it is the problem end over which the scientific research process is working. So how do you then assure, that there is a match in between the desired outcome expectation that is motivating you, and the underlying, and often still unknown, research problem? And how can you derive a question from a problem that is still not known to you? Fortunately, navigating this trio is something that can be learnt and trained. And, therefore, you might want to assure that your programme of choice is getting you covered on that end.

Very likely you never heard about this one. But my doctoral students suffered on that point in the hundreds. It even led to some quite obvious behaviours of self denial. Let me provide you with a typical example: There is a consultant working for one of the big five consultancies who is tasked to advise governments on digital transformation matters. The research objective is thus: to understand how to support governments in their digital transformation plans. And, consequently, the research question to this is: What are good/suitable/the_best/appropriate/put_in_any_filling_word digital transformation plans? So far so good. But now we come to the core: what is the fitting research problem that would justify for such a research question? Can you tell? Or to be more blunt, what is it that is broken (implies: a problem) that would ask for such a research question? And the likely answer is: there is none. Or, at least, there is none if the research question and the research problem are not matched and aligned with the expected outcome expectations.

For you to have a better understanding about what to expect at the webinar we are going to post a teaser for each of the ten key points in the days ahead. Today we introduce: #4 Supportive Network: The research topic and the role of the supervisor and who else is supporting the development. You have an excellent supervisor who’s well published in organisational culture and intelligence. However, your research increasingly suggests the actual research problem concerns financial resource management. Or in other words, the area of research excellence of your supervisor turned out not to be the area of excellence that your research is going to cover. The question then is, how to resolve this apparent dilemma? Moreover, for many doctoral research projects the understanding of what the research problem actual is, is the final outcome of the research. And if the topic is not clear until the very end, what type of support would you then be needing? It is for exactly those reasons that doctoral programmes need to be prepared to support the student through the entire journey and step by step into developing their research project further and having access to just the right subject expertise, and whatever that expertise might be. That’s it for today and we are looking forward seeing you tomorrow on: #5 Research Methods: Why the research method will lend itself to you, and how related studies are your greatest friend. 🔗 Register Here https://lnkd.in/egE97hVW #PhDLife #DBA #HigherEducation #AcademicJourney #Webinar #Research #DoctorateHub FOLLOW DoctorateHub for more insights on the doctorate research journey!

For you to have a better understanding about what to expect at the webinar we are going to post a teaser for each of the ten key points in the days ahead. Today we introduce: #8. The Element of Time. Time is finite. Completing your doctorate within a reasonable time period is important. Many students, for a variety of reasons, run unfortunately out of time when studying for a doctorate. This is even more likely for those studying for a practitioner doctorate such as the DBA. Students must learn to balance work and studying as well as all other competing pressures including family. And while this is important, it is usually not the most critical element of time. Being disconnected and falling behind, without knowing on how to catch up again are the real critical elements that make students quit and fail. Well-designed doctoral programmes provide dynamic support systems at which each research stage can be adjusted to the exact time requirements of the respective student. This provides students with the exact time that they need, and it keeps them connected to peers, by taking away stress and anxiety at the same time. That’s it for today and we are looking forward seeing you tomorrow on: #9 Viva Preparation: Why it all boils down to the Viva – and how to prepare for that day well ahead of time. 🔗 Register Here https://lnkd.in/egE97hVW #PhDLife #DBA #HigherEducation #AcademicJourney #Webinar #Research #DoctorateHub FOLLOW DoctorateHub for more insights on the doctorate research journey!

My first PhD progress review experience! Almost two weeks ago, I had my first progress review for my PhD, which is essentially used so that the review panel can see your progress to date. Typically, you will have a PhD progress review on an annual basis. Prior to my progress review, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I thought it would be useful to share my experience with anyone out there who may be in the same position. Although this is applicable to Durham University, you will find that there are similarities across the UK universities in terms of how the PhD progress review works. I had to submit three elements prior to my progress review, which consisted of: 1) How will your research make an original and significant contribution to knowledge? 2) Chapter breakdown 3) a draft chapter between 5,000 and 10,000 words. In the PhD progress review itself, the review panel consisted of two staff members within my faculty that were not my supervisors. I began with a 10-minute presentation that included my thesis title, the significance of my research, my methodology (including strengths and limitations), and how my selected chapter would fit within my overall thesis. Afterwards, the review panel asked me questions regarding my submitted chapter and provided feedback on its strengths and weaknesses. They asked if I had any concerns and what my plan was moving forward. Overall, I found it to be a very positive experience, and I should find out the outcome this month. 🤞🏻 #PhD #ProgressReview

Today we introduce: #5 Research Methods: Why the research method will lend itself to you, and how related studies are your greatest friend. It’s not uncommon for students to dedicate great effort deciding on the most appropriate research method(s). What is often less well considered, is that research evolves over time. Frequently, time is needed to develop deeper understanding of the nature of the subject matter being researched, known as ontology, so as to fully appreciate how it may be examined best, known as epistemology. Prior studies and related research will assist. in developing the correct skill. And as a result of this, it is the method that is lending itself to you gradually and automatically, and in a very structured manner. Actually, there is not much need for students to actively ‘imagine’ what methods they would ‘want’ to use in their research. Consequently, doctoral programmes should provide active training and guidance to prepare students on identifying prior and related studies, and how to derive fitting methodologies. That’s it for today and we are looking forward seeing you tomorrow on: #6 Benchmarking Opportunities: Learning together and learning from how others do. 🔗 Register Here https://lnkd.in/egE97hVW #PhDLife #DBA #HigherEducation #AcademicJourney #Webinar #Research #DoctorateHub FOLLOW DoctorateHub for more insights on the doctorate research journey!
