7. What do other think of your deliverables?

I remember this
project that did
this really cool
thing…
I have no idea
what it was
called or even
if the title
related to what
I thought it had
done?

9. Impact
9
'an effect on, change or
benefit to the economy,
society, culture, public policy
or services, health, the
environment or quality of life,
beyond academia’

10. Recap…
When starting the project how do I find paths already trodden
for good & bad?
How do I ensure quality and relevance of deliverables from my
projects?
How do I ensure dissemination of my project outputs to
relevant consumers to build impact who maybe ‘speak a
different (commercial) language?
