Moving from Research to Action

This book takes the reader from the University lab to the playgrounds of communities.  It shows how to integrate, move and use knowledge, an action journey within an identified action space that is called knowledge mobilization.  Whether knowledge is mobilized through an individual, organization, community or nation, it becomes a powerful asset creating a synergy and focus that brings forth the best of action and values.  Individuals and teams who can envision, feel, create and apply this power are the true leaders of tomorrow.  When we can mobilize knowledge for the greater good humanity will have left the information age and entered the age of knowledge, ultimately leading to compassion and—hopefully—wisdom.
