Data Analysis

All interviews, focus groups, and feedback sessions following PLA activities were recorded and
transcribed verbatim by an external transcription company. Data was analysed using a thematic
analysis, blending inductive and deductive approaches to the data (Braun & Clarke, 2006). An initial
cluster of global themes were identified based on primary concerns driving the objectives of each phase
of research, in order to guide initial readings of transcripts. Transcripts were read independently by
each researcher, who developed a series of data driven codes to explain processes linked to each
global theme (i.e. identification of organisational and basic themes for each pre-defined global theme).
Following initial readings of the data, an analysis meeting between the researchers resulted in the
adaptation of the coding framework around emerging findings from this. This resulted in three
overarching global themes as follows: coproduction as a process; processes of change; and
conceptualisations of the network’s future. The remaining report is organised around these three global
concepts.
