8. Top tips
1. Embed impact into the research process
• Don’t just bolt it on at the end of a project
2. Recognise ‘one size doesn’t fit all’.
• Fundamental research and arts and humanities can particularly struggle with blunt
measurements of impact
3. Harness and build skills within institution; build your impact agency
• Build impact literacy across the organisation
4. Engage not enrage
• Impact is achievable but not simple. Value the effort as well as the result
9. Impact is achievable. But it’s not simple
Support processes
Value people
Connect meaningfully
