5. Talk about the need for "concrete action" -- be sure to refer to internal and external actions.
Without concrete action, there is no story -- just people thinking and talking, if that.

strong practices which produce solid results. Questionnaires are often used in research to provide raw data to the researcher in order to support or deny his hypothesis. My approach in developing a high quality questionnaire revolves around the purpose of the research. The purpose should be clear cut and not ambiguous.
