Try it. If its stupid you can stop. Cathy Brothers
Knowledge mobilization - it’s a real challenge. We’ve worked really really hard - over many years – decades - to make sure that research doesn't get used. Andrew Taylor
To summarize - dig where the ground is soft, donʼt water the rocks, and when digging for potatoes, itʼs best to dig where the potatoes are.#Kerry Daly
Tracking outcomes in complex systems is almost impossible. Michaela Hynie
Sometimes you have to let some of the wild horses run. Take some risk takers - give them a little or just enough enough stability - but let them try something crazy for a few years.
