Expertise in policy development is under attack from populism, politicisation of the public sector and the sheer amount of alternative sources of advice available. This has produced a crisis of confidence in expertise that is affecting policy-making. This Wednesday, subscribers to ANZSOG’s #TheBridge will get a summary of a new research that examines the crisis of confidence, and the rise in the contestability of policy advice. It looks at ways that governments can rebuild confidence, and avoid debate becoming an evidence-free clash of opinions and slogans. In addition, Bridge subscribers will learn about: what is needed for trustworthy use of AI; a collective imagination starter pack for values-based capitalism; the standards expected from modern public administrations; and improving digital access and inclusion for First Nations people. If any of that sounds interesting to you, why not join the 15,000-strong Bridge family? Every fortnight you’ll get insights into new research that can help you with your work. It’s an eclectic and thought-provoking mix of articles, curated by Maria Katsonis, a Public Policy Fellow at the University of Melbourne who brings a public sector practitioner’s experience to academic research.

Leadership = the actions of people at all levels of organisations who act outside the boundaries of what is known and safe in order to serve the greater good. I love this definition! Leadership is agnostic of role, levels or heirarchy - it’s about stepping out and being brave. #leadership #beingbrave #makeyourmark

#KnowledgeTranslation in the Global South: Bridging Different Ways of Knowing for Equitable Development🌍 👉🏾This report by James Georgalakis and Fajri Siregar explores knowledge translation (#KT) in the Global South by looking at the practices and strategies used by Southern researchers as well as the challenges they face. Ultimately, they provide recommendations for #funders seeking to create an enabling environment for Southern-led research for #equitabledevelopment.   Here are some key learnings🔎 1. KT is narrowly defined and led by the global North 2. KT challenges and enablers are not unique to the Global South 3. Local and national actors must shape their own KT strategy 4. A holistic approach to supporting KT is required 5. Valuing structural investment in research and KT 6. Bridging the gap between scholarship and practice on KT in the global South   Read more on the learnings and recommendations for funders in the link below ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/e3x4Cnd8 #Knowledgetranslation #impact #research #knowledgemobilisation #internationaldevelopment #EquitableDevelopment #GlobalSouth #funders

In today's crisis-ridden world finding new #solutions #innovation including in the #social realm #socialinnovation that does not exclusively focus on #utility but also on #socialchange and #transformation and the use of #scientific #evidence for decision making are of utmost importance. The new #Encyclopedia on #socialinnovation is supporting exactly these efforts at the intersection of #research and #policymaking. Among  77 contributions by prominent international scholars who outline the #theoretical foundations, concepts, types, processes and #measurement of social innovation, I had the privilege to write a chapter on how #EU #policy can support social innovation efforts now and in the future. The publication is available online and in paper copy. https://lnkd.in/eu7QR-Da

In a critical assessment of the Australian research landscape, there’s a growing consensus on the need for systemic change. A paradigm shift is advocated, emphasizing the real-world impact of research over traditional citation and publication metrics. #ResearchInnovation #AcademicCulture #QualityOverQuantity #SystemicChange #InclusiveScience

New Research Live article written by Sherine El Taraboulsi-McCarthy, PhD, Director of NatCen International, where she considers the future of global social research and how NatCen International is working to deliver research which is rooted in the lived realities of societies and their needs. The article focuses on: 🏘 Localising and contextualising methodologies: why methods should be tailored to the geographic and cultural context. 🤝 Equitable partnerships and collaborations: Sherine reflects on the need for deeper engagement with how global social research is designed and delivered, and why working in partnership with local researchers and experts relies on equitable methods.

Thank you Lea Stadtler for your leadership on this article. It was such a great learning experience to be on the team of co-authors! Our paper "Cross-Sector Partnerships to Address Societal Grand Challenges: Systematizing Differences in Scholarly Analysis" has been published in the Journal of Management Studies!

With special thanks to Lea Stadtler, Dr M. May Seitanidi FRSA, SFHEA, and all other colleagues, it is with pleasure that we publish in the @JMS. The paper "Cross-Sector Partnerships to Address Societal Grand Challenges: Systematizing Differences in Scholarly Analysis" provides a systematic review on cross-sector partnerships (CSPs) focusing on their contributions to addressing societal grand challenges (SGCs). Drawing colleagues from every continent, this collaboration highlights the global reach and impact of our work. Here are three main points from the paper: 1. Diverse Analytical Focuses: The study identifies that scholarly analysis of CSPs varies significantly in terms of what scholars analyze and how they do it. These differences matter as they influence the reported results, highlighting the need for a comprehensive framework to expose and understand these analytical choices and their implications for interpreting evidence on CSPs' effectiveness in addressing SGCs. 2. Transformative vs. Mitigative Interventions: CSPs are conceptualized either as transformative interventions aimed at addressing multiple interconnected factors contributing to an SGC or as mitigative interventions aimed at alleviating the implications of SGCs. This distinction guides scholars in framing the SGC-related problem and reporting effects, influencing the consolidation of evidence across studies. 3. Problem-Centric vs. Solution-Centric Analysis: The paper differentiates between studies that problematize a focal SGC solution (solution-centric analysis) and those that problematize the SGC itself (problem-centric analysis). This distinction affects how CSPs are evaluated in terms of overcoming challenges related to the solution and their broader societal impacts. #CrossSectorPartnerships, #societalchallenges, #sustainablesolutions , #globalimpact , #innovationforchange , #researchimpact
