An ever greater emphasis is being put upon the need for academic research to make an impact in the real world, whether that be supporting teaching; helping organizations to be better managed; influencing public bodies and policymakers; contributing to economic development; or benefitting society and the environment. While citations are the established measure of academic influence, and downloads and altmetrics can be seen as measures of ‘attention;’ funders and institutions are now looking for evidence of measurable change. This presentation explores how the academy and industry view the impact of academic output, will explore evidence of theory being applied in practice, and look at how pathways to impact are achieved.

Lessons Learned in Organizational Capacity Building under Health Systems 20/20 Health Systems 20/20
Health Systems 20/20 has carried out 20 activities in the past five years where the focus has primarily been on building organizational capacity to strengthen a range of organizations including research institutions, government agencies, NGOs, training institutions, and consulting firms.
Presenter: Fred Rosensweig
We at Think Talent believe that strong organization culture help build an environment with meaning, and offer ways to interpret and shape events and situations.
The information in this brief is drawn from a case study of the JLN conducted by Mathematica Policy Research in consultation with the THS team and the Evaluation Office of The Rockefeller Foundation. The study, completed in 2016, was undertaken to assess the extent to which the JLN had achieved its goal of becoming a country-driven, sustainable network helping to advance progress toward universal health coverage in low- and middle-income countries.
Ceren Ozer of the World Bank and Brigitta Villaronga of GIZ have been working together for about 18 months to support development of universal health coverage in several countries. This raises not only issues of how to transform health systems, but how to work within organizations that are not adept at addressing complex challenges.

This 'how to' guide builds upon the overarching framework set out in The route to success in end of life care - achieving quality in acute hospitals, published in 2010. The route to success highlighted best practice models developed by acute hospital Trusts, providing a comprehensive framework to enable hospitals to deliver high quality care to people at the end of life.
This 'how to' guide aims to help clinicians, managers and directors implement The route to success more effectively, drawing on valuable learning from the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement's Productive Ward: Releasing time to care™ series.
This guide contains individual sections that can be worked on in any given order, dependent upon the individual hospital and its current end of life care provisions. These can be downloaded below:

Section 2: assess and diagnose

1. From nascent to sustainable HIV organizations: a field-based
experience building the capacity of MSM groups in Thailand
Chatwut Wangwon, Jarusri Jiravisitkul, Watcharaphong
Chiacomudom, Siddhi Aryal, and David Dobrowolski
Pact Thailand
Introduction
Pact Thailand, in collaboration with
Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health (MOPH)
- U.S. CDC Collaboration (TUC), developed a
field-based model to strengthen
organizational capacity of three groups
representing and serving Men who have Sex
with Men (MSM). These community-based
groups are located in the South and
Northeast provinces of Thailand, the “hot
spot” areas, border areas and community
areas where HIV prevalence and incidence
is high. Group members are: 1. Young
MSMs who participated in TUC’s HIV
intervention and were subsequently
motivated to form the groups to function as
the hospital volunteers; 2. Community
outreach teams, before becoming
implementing agencies under Global Fund
Round 8. The immediate goal of this model
was to strengthen group cohesion and
increase basic management knowledge,
skills and systems required for the groups
to manage Global Fund projects. However,
the ultimate goal was to develop
autonomous organizations that could
improve their services and become more
sustainable. Nevertheless, external sources
of funding, both for the groups and the
technical assistance, were beyond the scope
of the intervention, making the ultimate
goal also beyond the scope of the
intervention.
Materials and Methods
Interventions for building group capacity
involved a combination of tailored and cross-
cutting training on key projects and group
management topics, distance coaching, and
learning by doing through networking,
sharing and joint skill-building in areas of
immediate, practical concern.
Results
Evaluations using questionnaires, pre-
/post-test and the Most Significant
Change methodology to measure
outputs and outcomes indicate that
short-term objectives related to group
formation and skills-development were
achieved. However, converting the
achievements to reach desired
medium-term outcomes of
organizational formation and
development is largely dependent on
funding and the continued role of the
core leadership team. Although Global
Fund grants were available, they were
sufficient to create the conditions for
the formation of bonafide community-
based organizations.
Conclusions
A project, in itself, does not lead to group or
organization formation. Strategies for
replication of the capacity development
model should consider acceptance and
retention of needed skills and supportive
systems at the organizational and individual
levels against a favorable enabling
environment, including funding, at the
macro level. Key factors needed for CBO
group development in the context of
Thailand are: project and organization
management skills; leadership; group
cohesion; an experience exchange platform;
technical skills/competency; enabling
environment and an optimal mix of funding.
The experience provides an evidence base
that can be used to benchmark these
factors along a continuum of development
leading to future CBO group formation.
