At AGILE Research Ltd., we make our best effort to create and deliver exciting, delightful, understandable and accessible research resources and training.
All our resources and teaching materials have been designed by Dr Sandra Mandic, PhD, PMP with no use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
Compass Guide Research Training resources have been designed to help organisations, teams and individuals navigate the research process, successfully plan and manage their research projects, and prepare high-quality research reports and presentations.
Check out our catalogue, buckle up and enjoy the learning journey!
The Compass Guide Research Training resources will shed light on the exciting world of research – whether you are new to research, a professional involved in research, an experienced researcher or a student pursuing a Doctoral or Master’s degree. These resources are also particularly helpful to academic research supervisors to save time involved in research student supervision.
These resources will provide you (and your students or staff) with comprehensive guidance, innovative ideas, examples and tools and give you confidence to navigate the research journey, plan your research projects, deliver high-quality research outputs and collaborate effectively.
