On Leveraging Community

Posted in community, quote by Derek Baird on the September 3rd, 2007

“The challenge lies in bringing administrators and faculty together in ways that leverage their individual talents, while capitalizing on their differences.

In this way we create a tension between ways of thinking and knowing that results in better research product than could ever have been created without such diversity.

No one “expert” can teach everyone else how to design or carry out the best program research. Those decisions must rely on the strength of a community of individuals with various perspectives that, when summed together, produce the best possible product by leveraging what is known at large.”
