January 29th Developmental Neurosciences Grand Rounds presentation at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, Calgary Alberta. 3 objectives for the talk: 1. Describe the fluid interdependencies between ongoing stakeholder engagement, the research process, and dissemination-type KT activities toward maximizing the chances for achieving impact 2. Provide practical tips on how to effectively plan for KT and/or commercialization as a process that occurs within research projects in parallel with the research itself 3. Provide information for being able to access free online KT planning tools and guides

1. KT ISN’T JUST TELLING PEOPLE STUFF:
HOW TO PLAN AND DO EFFECTIVE KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION
BY INVOLVING STAKEHOLDERS

12. KEYS TO CREATING VALUE: BA FRAMEWORK
Each core concept is an idea fundamental to the practice
of business analysis, and all the concepts are equal
and necessary. Each core concept is defined by the
other five core concepts and cannot be fully
understood until all the concepts are understood.
No single concept holds greater importance or
significance over any other concept.

Give them what they need

14. K I D S B R A I N H E A L T H N E T W O R K | W W W . N E U R O D E V N E T . C A
The only way to find out what people need, is to ask them.
4 Levels of Stakeholder Engagement to find out what are the needs and respond:
1) Environmental scanning: find out what common stakeholder needs/challenges are
2) Research projects that are for creating/testing solutions for needs (RQ’s, approach)
3) KT/Commercialization product design, development (right solution/design, messages)
4) Dissemination, Uptake, Implementation (and eventually, changes=impacts)
(scale sol’n to similar stakeholders as in #3 but to more of them. Networks. Marketing.
Evaluation (can be done throughout)
