The key findings of the report include:
- The industry is lacking the strategic leadership needed to coordinate the creation and dissemination of knowledge;
- The emergence of the internet has fundamentally changed the way Stakeholders & Practitioners access knowledge, but the industry has not kept up;
- Knowledge that is difficult to understand, buried in long documents or locked behind pay walls, will not be used – even if it is critically important;
- Stakeholders & Practitioners need accessible, practical, easy-to-use guidance to help them carry out everyday activities;
- In the wake of the Edinburgh schools defects and the fallout from the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the report suggests the industry needs to get organised and stop leaving the dissemination of knowledge to chance – or more mistakes will be made.
