This methodological end piece for the book draws together many of the priorities and ‘rules of thumb’ that we have developed and lived by through the projects in Part Two. We begin by exploring the ‘fit’ between the values of researchers and their clients. Whilst a degree of disinterested objectivity is required of us as researchers, we inevitably (as experienced professionals) hold to sets of values that shape our world. If these values prove to be in conflict with those of the client / sponsor, some hard choices are inevitable.
