Transforming Your Ideas into Models or Frameworks
* Do you find that stakeholders have
difficulty understanding your program or project - or seeing how and
where they fit?
Graphic representations of your program or project offer an innovative way
to engage your stakeholders and enhance their understanding. We work with
you and your stakeholders to clarify your needs and produce a simple, integrated
picture of your
program or project. For example, "A Model for Sustainable Community
Economic Development in a Knowledge-Based Economy."
Connecting You with
Knowledge *
Do you find yourself, or your stakeholders, struggling to understand an
important concept and its implications for your work?
Authoritative briefing or discussion papers offer rapid pathways to
understanding and action. We work with you and your stakeholders to
carefully align the focus of the research with your needs. We then conduct an
exhaustive review of available resources and craft a highly usable
document. By way of example, "Applied
Health Research: A Briefing Paper on Knowledge Transfer, Dissemination and
Utilization."
Client Feedback: "Peter West has been instrumental in assisting Veterans Affairs
(VA) move forward with its Knowledge Transfer and Exchange activities. Through
the application of successful Knowledge Exchange practices, VA has improved
opportunities for two-way communications between researchers and decision-makers,
and helped facilitate the routine use of research information in evidence-based
decision-making. In short, Knowledge Exchange has improved our collective capacity
to communicate research results, and has contributed to the improvement of overall
health outcomes for our clients."

Connecting You with Resources
* Do you find it difficult to keep pace with new developments in your
field or industry?
Living bibliographies, which grow as new materials become available, offer a way to
explore all relevant resources in a single listing. Annotating a bibliography offers additional levels
of analysis and synthesis. As a case in point, "A Living Bibliography - Knowledge Networks and Communities of
Practice."
Client Feedback: "Peter West is
extremely dedicated to his work, and his
professionalism
shines through all that he does. He will not attach his name
to product that is not to
the highest standard of research and evidence, tapping
into a wide range of
resources from various disciplines. He is also a pleasure to
work with -- very
engaging and extremely enthusiastic about the issues he is
asked to address. The
greatest value in Peter's work came from his ability to find,
sort and identify key
research articles/references on any given topic -- selecting
from a wide array of
domains."
