Case Development Workshops

A key objective of the CRIMT Partnership Project on Experimentation for Better Work is to bring together a wide range of ongoing research through the lens of experimentation and its impact on work. We are convinced that deepening our understanding of particular cases and cross- interrogating experiences in the re-regulation of work can lead to important insights in ways that we do not normally achieve, thus improving both your/our particular research initiatives and its impact.

Given ongoing pandemic constraints, we organized a series of informal case development workshops in a Virtual Magog meeting (in reference to our project team meetings normally held in the Eastern Townships of Quebec).

Our intention was to build from these initial bundles of thematically compatible case workshops, which will continue through the first half of 2022, i.e., prior to our next major CRIMT Partnership conference (27-29 October 2022).

‘Magog‘ Meeting
Hôtel Chéribourg, Magog, Canada

CRIMT Partnership Project Team Meeting

The ‘Magog’ 2019 meeting was the culmination of a series of regional workshops organized by CRIMT’s partner centers and devoted to the co-construction of a template for studying and presenting cases of experimentation. The objective of the fall 2019 team meeting was to test this template, both through plenary discussions aimed at critically discussing theoretical and methodological issues related to the presentation model, and through exchanges in smaller groups on the study of clusters of experimental cases.

27-29 October 2017

‘Magog‘ Meeting
Hôtel Manoir des Sables, Magog, Canada

CRIMT Partnership Project Team Meeting

The main objective of the ‘Magog’ 2017 meeting was to attempt to collectively define, both conceptually and methodologically, the nature of institutional experimentation, how it should be studied, and how to ensure that a dialogue is established between cases of institutional experimentation. The aim was to identify the consequences of this re-regulation on different dimensions of work (is work improving or deteriorating?) and to see how the various projects and research objects (both work in progress and under development) of the researchers involved in the project contribute to our understanding of these processes.

Workshop on the co-construction of a template for the production and presentation of cases of experimentation

Held at RMIT, this workshop brought together coresearchers from the Centre for People, Organization and Work (RMIT). The second CPOW-CRIMT Workshop for 2019: ‘Concepts, Cases, Impact’ built on the momentum established during the first workshop in February. The purpose of the first workshop was to explore how researchers can play an active part in the International Partnership. In this follow up, CPOW moved to examine more deeply the key project elements: what do we mean by concepts such as ‘experimentation’ or ‘better work’? What does a case study look like and how might my work contribute? How does the Better Work project contribute to my strategic goals as an academic researcher around publications, engagement, knowledge translation and impact?
