Geri and major research projects, investments and opportunities

Many research-related investments projects, opportunities and collaborations increasingly benefit from a greater focus on engagement capabilities - to unlock their potential, and address the needs or expectations of end users, funders or other stakeholders.

Geri’s 3Ds approach (demystify, diagnose, develop) helps leaders and teams:

• Develop a strategic, purposeful approach to engagement (focused on what’s important and what’s doable)

• Achieve engagement outcomes that stakeholders value

• Proactively think about value for money / return on investment

• Gain insights which enhance and inform research and/or teaching

• Choose an appropriate capability development response (Scaleable: one off PD sessions through to integrated change management approach)

• Play to individual and/or team strengths and address gaps

• Mitigate engagement-related project risks

• Easily overlay university, faculty, team and individual context.

What working with Geri might look like:

• Present on Geri to your leadership / project team.

• Co-facilitate a Geri session at leadership/team retreat (tailored in context of major research investments, projects or opportunities).

• Conduct a Geri workshop(s) within initial (or later) phase of project / investment.

• Integrate Geri training / professional development into project timeline, with prioritised cohorts (e.g. lead investigators, researchers working with specific organisations, new ECRs or PhD candidates).

• Use the Geri approach to inform change management (e.g. Geri capability roadmap for new precinct investment, Geri workshop as part of the annual / biannual review process for major research projects or hubs).

• Use Geri to inform talent decisions (recruitment, performance assessments, promotions, investment) to de-risk and enable faculty, project or institution engagement-related ambitions.
