At Clarity Connect, we know that you want your research to create transformational change.

To do that, you need to gain the attention and trust of collaborators outside your research community, people like funders, investors, policymakers, partners, and customers.

The problem is that decision-makers outside your research community see the world from a different perspective and speak a different language, which makes it frustrating and fatiguing to deal with them.

We believe that knowledge mobilization is complex, but it doesn’t need to involve overly complicated theories and frameworks. We also understand that your time and budget constraints are real, which is why our approach to translating research into impact is personalized and practical.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Discern | We conduct a thorough needs assessment to define the project goals and scope.

2. Design | We develop a project workplan, with clear milestones and deliverables.

3. Deliver | We integrate into your team and, working closely with you, we execute the project vision.

4. Debrief | We lead a guided reflection to help solidify what you’ve learned through the project and identify next steps.

So, book your free consult today. And in the meantime, check out our free library of more than 100 articles to help with research dissemination and knowledge mobilization. 

  So you can stop explaining and instead start resonating.
