This peer-reviewed paper (Evans et al., 2014) provides an in-depth exploration of “boundary spanning” interventions, the different approaches that can be taken and why they matter for research-practice translation. In particular it explores two types of “boundary spanning” which can be useful to think about in terms of the type of relationships you wish to build with external stakeholders.
- Bridging approach – where the relationships are more formal and KE occurs through events
- Blurred approach – co-working, where KE is a day-day to activity
What will you take forward?
One thing to consider: For the type of KE activities you are undertaking which approach (bridging or blurred) would best suit your intended outcomes? What would be the positive and negative implications of these approaches in your context?
