Case Studies
Insanity means trying the same thing and expecting a different result. Three very sane people in the scientific, clinical and technical industries share their stories of mucking about, getting it wrong, and (eventually) finding the joy and courage on the other side of taking a risk.

Collaboration in Higher Ed
Dr. Alan McAlpine led a team at Curtin University that most of us would love to lead. However, good enough wasn’t good enough. He shares how a clear vision and a restructure (a successful one, I promise!) created the grounds for a more daring, collaborative approach to leadership development.

Leadership in Mining Tech
Suren Selvarajah had tried boilerplate leadership coaching to help him step into his role as General Manager of an award-winning tech startup. However, he found the best leadership lessons in the most unusual places: Competitive online gaming and applied improvisation.

Courage in Healthcare
Paulette Harraway has been developing leaders in healthcare for decades. However, she realised that no amount of training gave people the courage to speak up. She needed tools and techniques that helped her work a little more intimately with fear, vulnerability, and courage.
Collaboration for Impact
A FIELD GUIDE FOR RESEARCH TEAMS LOOKING TO make an impact (and have fun doing it).
Want hard copies for your institution or conference? Drop me an email at aden@adendate.com and I’ll see what we can do.
The long-term relevance of research institutions depends on their ability to produce real-world impacts, and to ensure those impacts are communicated, understood and valued.
I get it — it’s tough when the metrics and incentives we have make it difficult to prioritise impact. It’s not clearly there in the 40/40/20. Research leaders value impact, but find it difficult to value materially.
This field guide shows you how you can start making an impact now without waiting for major institutional or policy change. Oh, and you’ll build a great research culture in the process — one that retains early-career researchers, reduces turnover, and boosts wellbeing.
