What’s needed for achieving research impact

by Gabriele Bammer

What’s needed for achieving research impact is discussed by Niki Ellis, Anne-Maree Dowd, Tamika Heiden and Gabriele Bammer in their blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/06/01/five-insights-on-research-impact/. Five key factors are: 1) planning, including specifying theory of change & critical pathways, using effective frameworks & tools, understanding absorptive capacity, 2) quality respectful relationships within teams & with outside partners, including managing power imbalances & appreciating different strengths, 3) assessment based on research type & on team performance (not individual) including valuing capacity to deliver impact as an organisational asset, 4) recognition that researchers alone cannot achieve impact; instead business, government & civil society need more focus on impact, 5) openness to continual learning, including about complexity of change, building relationships, overcoming biases & learning from failures. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Democratic team decision making using gradients of agreement tool

by Gabriele Bammer

Democratic team decision making using gradients of agreement tool is described by Hannah Love in her blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/05/25/gradients-of-agreement-tool/. It provides a way of signalling level of agreement from 'whole-hearted endorsement' through 'support with reservations' & 'more discussion needed' to 'veto.' The tool allows 1) everyone to have a say, not just loudest voices, 2) people with power to see & be informed by everyone's specific feedback, 3) outliers to be identified & to provide further input which may affect final decision, and 4) high degree of flexibility in process & wording of gradient options. =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Managing collaborations as they change over time

by Gabriele Bammer

Managing collaborations as they change over time is discussed by Charles Lines in his revisited blog post at https://i2insights.org/2018/08/21/blame-in-collaboration/. Five key tips are: 1) Be consistently open & transparent especially about new pressures & demands & how they impact the collaborative research, 2) Have regular meetings where old established partners can get to know new & potential partners, 3) Encourage meetings between old and new partners, using a trusted, credible meeting chair with authority to approve meaningful meeting decisions, 4) Notice & challenge blaming language & behaviour early so that it does not become entrenched, 5) Make sure collaboration leaders & other influentials model a no blame culture (& are coached to do so if necessary). =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

“Circle of dialogue wisdom” as a methodological framework to reconceptualise participation, empowerment & collaboration

by Gabriele Bammer

“Circle of dialogue wisdom” as a methodological framework to reconceptualise participation, empowerment & collaboration, esp for decolonisation is described by Adriana Moreno Cely, Darío Cuajera Nahui, César Gabriel Escobar Vásquez, Tom Vanwing and Nelson Tapia Ponce in their blog post at https://i2insights.org/2021/05/18/circle-of-dialogue-wisdom/. It has 6 phases: 1) Knowing each other (eg ethical relationships, accountability, collective-we) 2) Concerting rules for participation (eg reflexivity, listening), 3) Creating safe spaces (eg unlearning privilege, managing unknown) 4) Building affection (eg sharing, reciprocity, people at centre), 5) Co-creating solutions (eg embrace complexity & uncertainty, revalue local & Indigenous knowledge, decolonise knowledge, being actions) and 6) Taking solution to practice (eg unlearn being competitive, learn to work together, build collective responsibility). =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================

Producing evaluation & communication strategies at the same time

by Gabriele Bammer

Producing evaluation & communication strategies at the same time is discussed by Ricardo Ramirez and Dal Broadhead in their revisited blog post at http://i2insights.org/2018/08/14/evaluation-and-communication/.<http://i2insights.org/2018/08/14/evaluation-and-communication/.T> This helps projects clarify theories of change & helps teams be explicit about their actions and produces a hybrid effect between them, where process of clarification creates a space for reflection & adaptation, creating conditions for adaptive management. It 1) is helped by readiness assessment to explore capability, power, organisational culture, senior buy-in & availability of engaged staff & resources, 2) requires specification of who will use evaluation & for what, as well as linking this to specific evaluation, and 3) needs communication purposes to be explicit & strategic. Are they for networking, visibility, advocacy, policy influence etc? =================================================== Professor Gabriele Bammer National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health Research School of Population Health ANU College of Health and Medicine The Australian National University 62 Mills Road Acton ACT 2601 +61 2 6125 0716 Gabriele.Bammer(a)anu.edu.au<mailto:Gabriele.Bammer@anu.edu.au> @GabrieleBammer http://i2s.anu.edu.au<http://www.anu.edu.au/iisn> http://I2Insights.org CRICOS Provider # 00120C ===================================================
