Dr. Dickson asks very provocative questions about how to create institutions that really take knowledge mobilization seriously – what kind of leadership is needed, how to create and implement explicit guidelines for behavior, how to overcome biases and create a culture that encourages real dialogue and diversity. His is very clear about the relationship between effective leadership and effective knowledge exchange and challenges us to not separate knowledge from human experience but rather that knowledge is integral to human experience.
