Research with CSIRO and AgResearch · Institutional analysis

How can research organisations respond to new demands?

Exploring how mandates, capabilities and organisational arrangements shape the contribution research can make.

The question

Research organisations in transformation

Expectations of research organisations are changing. Producing knowledge remains essential, but contributing to transformation also raises questions about partnerships, legitimacy, funding and institutional capabilities.

The work

Research develops four organisational prototypes to explore possible configurations, their capabilities and trade-offs. These are analytical propositions, not claims that particular institutional reforms have been implemented or proven effective.

Experience informing Metamorphosis, including research and assignments undertaken by its founder in previous roles.
