Knowledge Impact Strategies Consulting Ltd is governed by corporate values that include social responsibility.
Knowledge Impact Strategies manifests its responsibility to society by investing a portion of its profits in the knowledge needs of local community organisations that lack their own research capacity.
It does so in two ways
1. Providing financial support to the University of Waterloo Science Shop (www.scienceshop.ca) to
· Connect student researchers with community leaders
· Employ senior students to train and assist student volunteers
· Purchase supplies and equipment
2. Providing Knowledge Impact Strategy staff who create cost-free knowledge products for local community organisations and the public, for example, http://kimpact.ca/PreventingFalls. Our staff often relieve student researchers when they can longer spare time from their studies to complete community projects.
Our donations foster a new breed of scientists who will serve society not only by facilitating the impact of their own research discoveries but by making existing knowledge more accessible and useful to others.
