Systems and Processes for Knowledge Translation
Outline
1) How does business analysis relate to KT?
2) Example of the application of BA concepts to KT work, in practice
3) Why is this important?
4) What’s next?
Business Analysis
Business Analysis
Definition:
Business Analysis is the practice of enabling change in an organizational context, by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders.

Business Analysis
Core Concepts: 1. Need2. Change3. Stakeholder4. Solution5. Value6. Context
Principles of BA for KT• Identifying stakeholders (those directly/indirectly affected)
• Requirements gathering (needs)
• Incorporating requirements into design/improvement of processes/products – based on understanding of needs, and – feedback on solutions
Improving the Process for creating a KT Product
Problem/Challenge(s):• PIs dissatisfied with process – more work• Inability to get sign off on final copy
1. Stakeholder Identification
Researchers/PIs
KT Coreincluding writers
NeuroDevNet Headquarters
KT Steering Cmte
2. Requirements Gathering
The root causes of the problem (the ResearchSnapshot processes) that prevented us from achieving our goal of providing excellent service included: 1) Researchers were expecting a draft that was close to final, that would require minimal editing. 2) Team of student writers trained in clear language writing, but lacked sufficient scientific background for adequate understanding of the material in the original scientific papers. 3) Previous process was new and developed without input from researchers/Principal Investigators (PIs)
2. Requirements Gathering
1) The process must allow for the PI to review a draft that only requires minor edits
2) The process must create maximum value for the Network
3. Requirements-based Design
Root Cause Identified:• Lack of content knowledge by student
writers
Recommendation:• New process begins with PI choosing
paper, choose trainee writer (content expert)
• Provide CLW training to trainee writer
Ask PI to nominateResearch paper and trainee
Train in CLW, trainee workswith KT Core on draft
Close-to-final draft sentto PI for review & sign off
Result:We were able to deliver value:
“The research snapshot was a smooth process…with an efficient resident taking the lead on it and great support from NDN KT. ” NeuroDevNet Researcher
Business Analysis
Core Concepts: 1. Need = problem: PI dissatisfaction w process2. Change = improved process3. Stakeholder = helped inform the need/sol’n4. Solution = 3 root causes addressed5. Value = skill building, more efficient process6. Context = NeuroDevNet NCE
BA mapped onto KT- For any (NDN) Research Project -
Stakeholder Engagement Defining Needs
Deliver Value Impact of Research
Enabling Change New or Improved Diagnostic, Intervention, Service
BA Concept Application to KT
Why is this important?
Helps make KT Planning & Activities more effective
Why is this important?
Helps move the field of KT forward
