The NIRF in Practice: Surfacing Patterns, Finding Traction
June 30, 2025
When we introduced the updated Necessarily Insider Research Framework (NIRF), we offered it not as a checklist, but as a landscape. Now with reflexivity being made explicit, there are 192 evaluative prompts to consider as part of Professional Practice research. That might sound like too much – but it’s intentionally rich. This isn’t a framework […]

But what happens when that messiness isn’t just inconvenient, but ethically fraught, emotionally overwhelming, or simply too complex for conventional research approaches? That was the starting point for our work on […]

June 29, 2025
When we began this work, we weren’t trying to build a new model. We were just trying to make sense of why meaningful change so often stalls—even when the will is there. As researchers and practitioners committed to Professional Practice with real-world impact, we’ve grown wary of single-point interventions. A new policy here, a workshop […]
