Laidlaw Scholars week 5 diary entry
This week, our team focussed on collating the first draft of a report of the findings of our project. Having filtered through an additional 350 potential social enterprises, I filtered them into our database based on whether they met our selection criteria. This process allowed us to shift our focus more explicitly onto the analysis of the data we have collected on a quantitative level. Our team split between analysis of the database and the starting of an outline for our interview plan: I assigned each social enterprise with an area of impact, which in turn were divided into categories of broader impact. Then, by counting the number of social enterprises in each category, I outlined which the most and least represented areas of charitable enterprise were in Oxfordshire. With this in mind, we set out a plan to interview those who were underrepresented.
The biggest struggle of the week was illness for me, as I often lacked the energy or physical state to get my work done on time. I found that communication and reasonable expectations for myself and others allowed me to make the most of the situation at hand.
