Strategy Development
Organisational strategy and policy for research.
The problem
Research works best when it is not improvised each time
Organisations that produce research need the strategy, processes, and policy to support it — a clear position on how research is designed, assured, and governed, rather than decisions made afresh with every project.
The service
From a single policy to a full research strategy
I develop organisational strategy, action plans, and policy for research, including research ethics, quality assurance, and data governance. This ranges from a single policy (an ethics framework, a quality assurance process, a data governance policy) to a fuller research strategy and the action plan to implement it.
What it can cover
- Research strategy and the action plan to deliver it.
- Research ethics frameworks and processes.
- Quality assurance processes and standards.
- Data governance and stewardship policy, with implementation support available separately.
- The processes and roles that hold research quality in place over time.
Rates run on a sliding scale designed to make high-quality research support accessible across different budgets.
More on how we work togetherThis is the right service when an organisation is formalising its research function, responding to a funder or accountability requirement, or setting up the processes to produce research consistently and well.
