How to Make Repositories Work for Stakeholders

Are your stakeholders using the research in your repository? Is your work making an impact? If you’re unsure, this guide is for you! It will help you assess whether your repository is truly influencing decisions or simply sitting idle.

Make Your Repository a Go-To Resource for Stakeholders

Is your research repository a valuable tool for your team, or just a private archive? This guide will give you tips on how to structure your repository around stakeholder needs to ensure it drives action and engagement. Start by asking yourself:

  • What questions are people asking?

  • What do they search for in Slack?

  • What features are they working on right now?

„Research drives better business decisions, but without a repository designed for your stakeholders, even the most valuable insights can be overlooked. The right system makes your repository easy to use and your insights easy to track.“
