A philosophical perspective and general aim

Contributed by Gnaiger E 2016-09-26

1. Define a common aim

• What is the common aim for the group including participants and lecturers, and for the entire group beyond participants?
• The common aim must be clearly understandable, familiar from other established areas, non-controversial.
• Make it a challenge, generate motivation.

2. Give a historical perspective

• Find the roots linked to the common aim.
• Give the rationale why conventional aims did not match the common aim.
• Define stepping stones available towards the common aim - this looks like a steep learning curve.

3. A change is necessary - difficult but possible

• Fundamentals of quality control.
• Basic concepts and applications: News.
• Towards standardization: Reference protocols - state of the art.
• Innovation for and beyond standardization.

4. At the beginning: This is really hard. - Finally: It is not that difficult - Yes, we can

• Repeat and provide context.
• Problem solving: make it an experience of success in action.
• Discuss specific cases in view of the common aim.
• Next steps and individual projects.
• Economy of communication and collaboration: stay in touch.
