Change our people
Change
our systems
Return to first principles of communications... don't expect people to come to content on your platforms - push it to them on the channels they already use.
Foster research in
the cradle - network and create communities
Make it a point of principle never to spend money and time on something you can get for free and easily.
If you have to create something new, let others build on your work.
Give life to mature
research - multiple formats, multiple messages
Don't let research go
to the grave - plan for long-term visibility of grey literature and research
Introduce new systems and processes iteratively and collaboratively.
Employ arguments and evidence to convince people of the need for change.
