Magna Carta - Background  The original Great Charter was agreed by King John, 15 th June 1215, when he acceded to barons’ and bishops’ demands to limit his powers, first sealed on 19 June 1215 and distributed throughout the land.  The 1215 version of Magna Carta was revised several times in the 13 th Century, reissued in 1216 after the death of King John, revised in 1217 and 1225.  The 1297 version was brought into English law, virtually unchanged from the 1225 version.  There are 4 known surviving copies of the 1215 Magna Carta - at Lincoln (1) and Salisbury (1) Cathedrals and in London at the British Library (2).  There are 13 known surviving later XIII C. copies – Durham (1216) (1225), Hereford (1217), Oxford (1217x3) (1225), London (1225x2) (1297x2), Canberra, Australia (1297), Washington, DC, USA (1297).  And another 6 (or 7?) of the 1300 Magna Cartas in the City of London, Durham Cathedral, Faversham Town Council, Oxford (2), and Westminster Abbey (and Society of Antiquaries in London as well).

9. Research: A Simple Business Really Ask the right sample The right questions Add up the figures correctly Use it wisely - Advocacy - Management

10. What does research measure? Measures perceptions, not facts Two kinds of findings we bring to our clients: reality, and misperception Five things we find: behaviour, knowledge, and… three levels of ‘views’:  Opinions  Attitudes  Values

11. Research Can: Obtain information Set the context Clarify confusion Distill wisdom Focus debate Provide insight Curb claims Cinch argument

12. Research Does Not: Dictate policy or sacrifice your organisation’s core values/ beliefs/objectives Manage the organisation Necessarily lead to action Confuse the issues

13. Research Does... Guide decision makers Enable decision makers to act on knowledge rather than misconception Focus attention on relevant issues Keeps management from acting on impulse Clarify the issues Checks on progress Guides semantics
