Do a good job of ＂pre-work＂ in investigation

Everything is established in advance, and it is abolished if it is not predicted. The same is true of investigation and research. If you are well prepared before the investigation, you will be handy and comfortable during the investigation; If you are unprepared in advance and cram for the Buddha’s feet temporarily, you will easily be led by the nose and fail to achieve the expected results. Therefore, party member cadres must carry out investigation and study.Do your homework, go with questions, do it with methods, play the first move, play the initiative, ensure that the research is aimed at deepening, and get twice the result with half the effort.

Work hard on the "topic" to achieve accurate targeting.With the investigation of the problem, we can know fairly well when investigating and know where to go and where to look. Before the investigation, we must focus on the major policies and phased key tasks of the party and the state, combine the local conditions, aim at the hot spots of social concern, the people’s urgent difficulties and worries, and the shortcomings and weaknesses of work, sort out the list of questions and demands in advance, and cut into the investigation in depth, so as to make the incision accurate, the topic deep and the point real. The topic can also be decomposed into several closely related and mutually supporting sub-topics, so as to make the research content full and thick, and avoid the phenomenon of poor coverage and poor support.

Work hard to know "there" and be familiar with it.It is of great significance for the success of the survey to find out the background in advance, prepare lessons well and fully understand the research object. To know the "other things", through radio and television, newspapers and magazines, online platforms, internal materials and other channels, we can understand the background information of the research items, including the basic situation, main characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, statistical data, etc., and find out the approximate "number of ways" to prevent the "tune" from missing the point and not being on a channel. To know "the other person", we should accurately grasp the characteristics of the research object through online inquiry, face-to-face inquiry and side understanding, and make a targeted survey of the situation around different industries, posts, cultural customs and age groups, so as to blend in quickly when meeting and create a good atmosphere for quickly entering the research situation, listening to the truth and checking the facts.

Make great efforts to seek the "law" and achieve the spirit of tricks.The method is the key to find out the actual effect. It is necessary to adjust measures to local conditions, vary from case to case, design and select methods in advance according to the differences of research objects, locations, tasks and requirements, and prepare a hard "toolbox" for use. Traditional research methods can be considered, such as listening to the situation, holding seminars, field visits, questionnaires, and squatting; We can also consider new ways such as online public opinion screening, big data analysis, "experiential" research, and entrusting professional institutions to extend research, enriching research carriers and innovating research forms; We can also comprehensively use the old and new methods to verify the research results and effectively improve the quality and efficiency of the research work. In addition, we can learn from the successful experience and practice of similar research, digest and absorb it, and use it flexibly to ensure that the research is more targeted and effective.
