Key is to use the end-user\u2019s information requirements as an explicit starting point for knowledge development, and to continually match specialist research with the information need of end-users. A core element of the method is the definition of fit-for-purpose quantifiable performance indicators. The tool is potentially useful in any situation where miscommunication may arise in interaction between interdependent actors, with different states of knowledge, working on different parts of the same overall problem. Applying this method increases the probability that specialist research produces results that are applicable in policy development or practical application (van Koningsveld, 2003). The method relies on logic and structure and may thus be used by anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Type: <\/strong>Method<br><strong>Project Phase:<\/strong> Initiation<br><strong>Type of assessment: <\/strong>System Analysis<br><strong>Purpose: <\/strong>Matching research\/ specialist knowledge with end-users needs<br><strong>Requirements: <\/strong>none<br><strong>Relevant Software:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoshape.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Basic-frame-of-reference-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoshape.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Basic-frame-of-reference-1.png 975w, https:\/\/www.ecoshape.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Basic-frame-of-reference-1-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ecoshape.org\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/Basic-frame-of-reference-1-768x414.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 975px) 100vw, 975px\" \/><figcaption>Flowchart of the Frame of Reference method.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1749,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","phase":[8],"tooltype":[18],"type-of-assessment":[12],"class_list":["post-3316","tool","type-tool","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","phase-initiation","tooltype-method","type-of-assessment-system-analysis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Frame of Reference for specialist and end-user interaction - EcoShape<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoshape.org\/en\/tools\/frame-of-reference-for-specialist-and-end-user-interaction\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Frame of Reference for specialist and end-user interaction\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Frame of Reference method aims to structure the interaction between end-users and specialists in application-oriented knowledge development.
