Figure out what you don't know and either find someone to fill the gaps or get down to some studying. Possible number 11?

I'd say that in a year you've achieved an unprecedented amount - providing tools for others to re-use, proving the case for JFDI with successful engagement exercises, and pretty much showing the rest of us what can and should be done. But I also take your point on the more to be done. Light touch/swift procurement, embedding this activity into the culture, and efficient and credible evaluation are the three biggest challenges now. And that feels like a big job, even for eight people. Nice post, Steph.

I'm so glad you've enjoyed the last year and it's gone well for you. You'll be pleased to know we're just starting Phase 3 of Information Prescriptions, and all the research you did for it initially is still really relevant. Hope sunny SE London is working out well for you and the family. Hopefully our paths will cross soon :) Steph – just doing some digging around and came across your blog.
