PhD research - stage two
Dear [x],
Thank you once again for the opportunity to interview you. I appreciate the time you spared for me and for the deeper insights you provided into PPP projects.
I would like to invite you, along with a small group of other experts, to take part in the next stage of my research. This will involve examining and reflecting upon the documents that comprise a second iteration of a draft public sector governance model for PPP (the Integrated Management Model). Your scrutiny can be undertaken in your own time without any need for further meetings.
During this stage I am seeking reflective feedback from you regarding the relevance and accuracy of particular aspects of the Model. The reflective process is deliberately intended to deal with each of the separate elements of the Integrated Management Model in turn, and then subsequently, with the relevant combinations of Model elements (i.e. the integrating aspects).
The data collection process adheres to the same RMIT University ethical standards that applied to the earlier interview stage of this research. Personal identifiers will not be used in analysing and interpreting any information received. Therefore your confidentiality is assured. In return, you are requested to observe the confidentiality of the IMM material in accordance with the usual arrangements for intellectual property associated with research at RMIT University.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
