Unlocking research and career opportunities.
Catering to different institutional and professional needs, we offer a flexible mix of ready-to-use and tailored solutions and models of delivery.
Research by McKinsey and others highlights the importance of capability development for individual and organisational success. Engagement beyond academia is not new. However, historically, limited attention has been paid to engagement capability development.
Investing in engagement capability development increasingly matters because of:
The potential of research to make a difference in the world
The scale of investment in research
The number of people’s careers involved
Changing funding and end user needs and expectations.
Geri helps users to do so. Our clients include…
We’ve worked with thousands of people who have used the Geri 3D approach for professional development, to inform research, create opportunities, help realise ambitions and pursue purposeful engagement. Geri has also informed the design of university PhD and engagement professional development programs, and related human capital decision-making. See examples of our work and testimonials.
The quality of engagement-related professional development available to many academics, researchers and graduate research students is often poor. As researchers ourselves, we’re serious about helping institutions, faculties, teams and individuals address this issue by providing Geri tools and Geri-related services at scale.
