35. Rationale and Key Themes
The invited commentaries that follow are designed to kick-start further conversations and debate as a first step in widespread discussion to progress thinking about the practicalities of undertaking more effective research on complex real-world problems. If there is to be a discipline of I2S (or even just a storehouse of concepts, methods, case studies and guides to relevant knowledge for researching complex real-world problems), it is going to require a large, committed group to carry the ideas forwardâto reshape, rework and refine them. To do this effectively, group members will need to engage with each other, as well as to hear the views of distinguished senior scholars and leaders of research organisations. At this time, there is no obvious forum where that interaction can occur, especially not one where the full diversity of pertinent and important viewpoints can readily connect.
The choice of commentators was influenced by the desire to engage a broad range of individuals and networks. When issuing the invitation to contribute, I provided a brief rationale for the selection of that individual1 and often suggested areas where their views would be particularly valuable,2 although they were encouraged to cover any topics they thought would promote productive discussion. They were also invited to address one or more of the following questions.
If you had $1 million to spend, which of the proposals in this book would you fund to be further developed?
What is the bookâs greatest weakness and how could it be addressed?
Who do you think should be encouraged to be involved in the ongoing discussion about I2S?
How do you see yourself in relation to I2S?
