Why research to action
“The best moment is when I share something I’ve learned, people start asking questions, and someone says, ‘We should build this.’”
For years, Dr. Jodie watched good programs miss the people they were designed for. The programs weren’t the problem. Nobody had asked the right questions yet. Change Amplifiers exists to ask them, make the answers useful, and teach others to do the same, from a CEO rethinking a strategy to a ten-year-old interviewing her grandmother.
A researcher who understands how decisions get made.
