Briefing paper – part two (quantitative and qualitative analysis review)

In part two of your briefing paper, using the information in Table 1 and Table 2 below, you should provide examples of the types of data analysis that people practitioners use. (AC 2.1, AC 2.2 and AC 2.3)

The survey data presented in Table 2 has been collected from managers and employees on their views of the organisation’s approach to monitoring performance.
