Proving the Value: Designing Adoption-Ready Solutions

​About This Event

​Transform your research into actionable, high-value outcomes for non-profit, government, and community sectors.

​Even high-impact research can stall if external partners don't see how it fits their operational priorities. In this interactive, 90-minute workshop, you’ll master practical frameworks for mapping multi-stakeholder needs, defining non-monetary value, and designing research outputs ready for real-world adoption. Led by core facilitator Allan Wain, this session gives you individual, hands-on practice with proven impact frameworks.

​What You’ll Learn & Practice:

• ​Map Multi-Stakeholder Needs: Align research outputs (such as policy frameworks, community models, and protocols) with the systemic priorities of municipal, non-profit, and government bodies.

• ​Define Non-Monetary Value Metrics: Use tools like the Social Value Proposition Canvas and Jobs to Be Done framework to articulate clear, non-commercial benefits for target stakeholders.

• ​Build Uptake Pathways: Articulate concrete organizational pathways that enable community partners to adopt and sustain your work.

​Who Should Attend?

​University of Alberta graduate students and postdoctoral scholars looking to build essential professional skills in stakeholder engagement, value proposition design, and non-commercial knowledge mobilization. No prior business background needed.

​👉 Capacity is strictly limited to 20 participants in Triffo Hall 1-31 to ensure hands-on, interactive support. Reserve your spot today!
