🔺 Brooks School 5-Year Strategic Plan Released 🔺 Now, more than ever, forward-looking leadership in public policy is essential and the Brooks School is dedicated to responding to the challenges ahead. – Colleen L. Barry, Cornell Brooks School Dean To guide us as we define our strategic priorities in the initial years following the founding of the Brooks School in Fall 2021, our community has worked collaboratively to develop long-term goals that drive shorter-term actions designed to achieve these strategic priorities. Mapping Our Future: To set a bold future for our new School, we have organized our strategic priorities under three founding pillars and four cross-cutting themes through the lens of our seven areas of policy focus. Our Founding Pillars: 🔺 Purpose-Driven Research - We will conduct rigorous, groundbreaking research to solve the most pressing policy problems facing our global society. 🔺 Educational Excellence - We will educate future leaders with the knowledge and skills to advance innovative public policy and management approaches to improve societal well-being. 🔺 Policy Engagement - We will establish a dynamic hub for policy engagement by fostering a collective commitment to research translation, communication of knowledge, community partnerships, and engaged learning.

As Senior Advisor to the President at the American Council on Education, I am pleased to publish regular thought pieces on the ACE website that offer assistance and advice to institutional presidents. To view these prior posts: www.highered.today.org. This current thought piece focuses on how presidents can support an institutional environment where faculty, staff, and students thrive and say "this institution is exactly where I belong".

As the real-world impact of research is increasingly explored (👋 Andrew Jack, RRBM Responsible Research in Business and Management), I find The Strategic Management Society convo led by INSEAD Laurence Capron useful: Why, when and how do academics share their research outside of academia?   Some take-aways:   ❓ Why? It’s personal. In our Tik-Tok-ChatGPT-low-attention era where a business book sells about 500 copies, writing a new managerial book should bring personal fulfilment to the author. Articles in practitioners’ magazines such as Harvard Business Review(HBR) or Sloan Management Review (SMR) are another conduit to bring research to the real world. And here again, it’s personal: choosing research questions based on managerial needs brings more opportunity for wide dissemination than focusing on filing research gaps.   ⏰ When? It depends. Some systematically translate new peer-reviewed published papers into practitioners’ articles. Others front load research and write for practitioners later on. Where an academic is in her tenure journey matters because practitioners’ contributions are not valued for academic promotion.   🥮 How? There are recipes. For a book: Write two chapters & an outline, find a book agent, contract with a publisher, use their deadlines as external pressure to get it done. One can use the classroom as a testing ground for what clicks and how areas of research hang together as a coherent whole for a manager. For a practitioners’ article: Start with a contrarian viewpoint, bring a couple of killer facts and examples to account for supportive evidence, layout 3-4 implications for how to manage differently. Also good to know submission rules of targeted outlets: eg, senior editors’ picks for HBR, peer-review process for SMR.   Beyond books and magazine articles, using social media outlets for greater dissemination was briefly mentioned. I would suggest a sequel SMS webinar focusing just on that, given the potential for reach + how engagement with classroom participants could also help academics on that front. full convo 👇
