Showing Policy Impact Isn’t Straightforward. Here’s Our Method to the Messiness.
All think tanks face a central quandary: explaining how their work leads to tangible change in the world. It’s a core question for us at the Energy for Growth Hub.
Sarah Jane is the Hub’s chief impact officer and founder of Staats Strategies, an independent consulting firm that specializes in turning research and ideas into practical action. She advises the Hub on ways to increase the reach and resonance of our work, especially among philanthropists, policymakers, and advocates.
Previously, Sarah Jane was communications officer for the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation’s global development program and senior policy advisor at the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation. At the Center for Global Development she was director of policy and outreach and ran the Rethinking Foreign Assistance Initiative. She’s always searching for the next, best podcast recommendation.
