Abstract

This document presents a report on the research priorities exercise undertaken by the CSIRO Division of Soils in early 1992. A major component of this exercise was the priorities workshop conducted in April 1992 during the first two days of a week-long Divisional Management Committee meeting. The success of the exercise rested largely on the enthusiasm and commitment of David Smiles, John Williams and their colleagues on the management team. John in particular carried the burden of coordination and logistics which he performed in a particularly effective fashion. The priorities workshop was facilitated by Ralph Young of the CSIRO Corporate Planning Office.

The Division of Soils case study represents an important milestone in the evolution of the research priorities process in CSIRO because of its contribution to best practice, particularly in relation to project priority setting and the project priority-quality template developed by David Smiles and John Williams. In addition, the insights produced during the course of the exercise provided useful input to subsequent priorities exercises conducted in CSIRO and elsewhere.

This report was prepared by Ralph Young and benefited from valuable input from John Williams.
