5. Knowledge Mobilization - Lessons Learning
Combination of producer push
& user pull = exchange & co-
production
Knowledge broker is core to

transfer

“I wonder what tomorrow has in mind for me
Or am I even in it's mind at all
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Soon as I find myself a crystal ball”
