Abstract

This paper considers how we recognise the impact of qualitative analysis within interventions. First, empirical data is used to illustrate the integration of qualitative and quantitative within the context of an everyday workplace, considering patterns of integration and their perceived effects. Second, the historical basis for valuing the integration of qualitative and quantitative is explored, considering the longer-term evolution and use of Soft OR and Problem Structuring Methods (PSMs). Finally, I reflect upon the broader questions these observations raise about the relevance of qualitative analysis and how we promote this relevance within and beyond our immediate community.
