Research administration capacity building, research culture, human research infrastructure. Problem solving, policy and program development and coordination. Bridging gaps between the private sector and the institution.
Deploying expertise gleaned from years of work in research administration in the university and non-profit sectors as well as post graduate education; continuing education and training in management and university governance as well as collegiality and emotional intelligence cultivated in significant roles in professional employee advocacy.
You recognise that in this complicated economic timeline for the post secondary sector, problem solving in your institution can be accomplished with a short term contract solution; that there is no need to wait two years or more for a full time staff appointment or to over leverage existing team members with new tasks/roles/projects necessitated for compliance with new directives from external bodies.
Sometimes a research office or affiliated service unit needs an external agent to take an objective look at existing staffing or processes to develop, improve, or enhance systems and culture. A research tool company may need advice on communicating effectively with the complex hierarchy of the university. A non-profit organisation wants to enhance their grant-making ability or the capacity to manage or deliver time-limited programming.
KLK works with clients to develop a bespoke pathway to project completion, administrative restructuring or systems improvement, or simply advice for those engaged in the vast scope of research administration and looking for ideas and/or support. KLK provides expertise but also assists clients in developing confidence and enthusiasm for the special projects they undertake and in the everyday execution of their critical research management/administration work.
