Impact and Engagement

I’m old enough to remember the days before “pathways to impact” and “impact case studies”, and all of the debate that surrounded their introduction. In the years that followed I worked intensively on many successful proposals and also played a major role in developing, drafting and redrafting Impact Case Studies for REF 2014 with many rated as 4*.  In later years I led a successful knowledge exchange team developing partnerships with non-academic organisations to build the platforms for future impact through sustained engagement.

What I offer

I can work with you to develop and refine any text relating to impact whether that be in the context of a case study, funding application, or prize nomination.  But that is only the later part of the process – developing the relationships, identifying the partners, and understanding processes of change in different sectors is where I can add most value.

Work with me

Work in this area must begin with me developing a good understanding of the underpinning research, so an initial meeting to discuss your ideas, online or in person, is always the best place to start.
