You might be an academic researcher who wants to make a bigger impact, a consultant who wants to land bigger projects, or a not-for-profit leader who wants to see bigger shifts in policy and social innovation.

Whatever your role or sector, you’re in the business of transforming research into results.

And you’ve probably already learned the hard way that mobilizing research knowledge takes more than Plain Language.

You've worked hard to make your explanations clear, and still...

You get polite nods, but no commitment.
People say, “That’s interesting,” yet your project goes unfunded, or the sale doesn’t go through.
You invest a lot of time and money churning out creative communication products and hosting events, but you can’t link those efforts to impact.

It’s not that people don’t understand your research. It’s just not resonating with them.

When research does resonate, it truly connects with your audience:

People lean into your presentations.
They ask questions about how to implement your ideas.
They become champions and collaborators.
They trust you as their go-to advisor on how to turn evidence into practice.

At Clarity Connect, we know that you want your research to create transformational change.

To do that, you need to gain the attention and trust of nonresearchers, people like funders and investors, CEOs, policymakers, and community partners.

The problem is that decision-makers without your expertise see the world from a different perspective and speak a different language, which makes it frustrating and fatiguing to deal with them.

We believe that the process of mobilizing research knowledge is complex, but it doesn’t need to be complicated. We also understand that your time and budget constraints are real, which is why our approach to translating research into impact is personalized and practical.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Discern | We conduct a thorough needs assessment to define the project goals and scope.

2. Design | We develop a project workplan, with clear milestones and deliverables.

3. Deliver | We integrate into your team and, working closely with you, we execute the project vision.

4. Debrief | We lead a guided reflection to help solidify what you’ve learned through the project and identify next steps.

So, book your free consult today. And in the meantime, check out our free library of more than 100 articles to help with research dissemination and knowledge mobilization.

So you can stop explaining and instead start resonating.
