Insights for Impact

• United States
• Information Technology & Services

• Director

  • 2016 - Present

  At Insights for Impact I support organisations and researchers by building impact strategies, providing confidence through coaching, and leading towards impact.Universities are increasingly under pressure to demonstrate that they are making progress with the impact of their research. This means that researchers must think about their work in new ways and respond to new demands from government, funders, and managers.At Insights for Impact my work supports and enables researchers to address challenging pressures and empower faculties, departments, and schools to develop programmes of support, and to account for impact successes in a holistic way. Insights for Impact can provide help right across the research structure for research leaders, research managers, Principal investigators or individual academics.
