The critical creative collaborative inquiries in action 127 5 periods of collaborative inquiry were followed by a period of synthesis in which I worked, largely alone, to make sense of the data set as a whole. During this period I kept in email and occasionally telephone contact with individual inquiry members. There were also three extra meetings, one in each of 2015 , 2017 and 2018 , held for the purpose of sharing elements of the meaning-making process once again, particularly critical and creative critique of my developing conclusions. All members of both the RNI and NPI were invited and those who were willing and able attended in heterogeneous groups. Throughout the chapter abbreviations are used when referencing the origin of an illustration or quotation from the data. These are explained in Table 5.1. Not all audio-recordings of interviews, conversations or meetings were fully transcribed. The analysis process, including the use of non-transcribed recordings, was described in the final section of Chapter 4. Here, in Chapter 5, when a quote is taken from a fully transcribed recording a page number is included in the location identifier of the quote. Otherwise the specific audio recording containing the quote given here is identified and it can be assumed that only parts of that recording were transcribed. Decisions concerning translation from Dutch to English will be addressed later in this chapter.
