Format: Hot Topics.

Level: Any—Suitable for all levels. 

Topic: Managing up as a researcher requires clearly demonstrating impact, aligning insights to business priorities, and building credibility with senior stakeholders. This session will translate proven management-up principles into practical strategies researchers can use to communicate value, anticipate executive concerns, and position research as a decision-making asset rather than a cost center. Attendees will leave with a structured, time-bound approach for strengthening trust and influence with leadership, informed by perspectives commonly discussed in Harvard Business Review.

Learning Objective: Participants will leave equipped to create and implement a practical 60-day plan for managing up, demonstrating research impact, and strengthening trust with senior business stakeholders.
