A Free, Practical Way to Measure and Grow Your Scholarly Impact
1️⃣ Our current yardsticks are misaligned. Counting venues and raw citations rewards where you publish rather than who you influence and how. The article argues we risk “rewarding A while hoping for B,” inflating theory-only signals while neglecting impact on business and society.
2️⃣ Measurement without a plan is noise. The solution is a Personal Impact Development Plan (PIDP) that specifies who you aim to impact, why, and which competencies you’ll build to get there. It turns impact into a managed process rather than a byproduct of publications. 3️⃣ Make impact observable via competencies. Six competencies—reflective (motivation, qualities), communicative (networking, circulating), and behavioral (exploration, control)—translate impact into trackable behaviors and artifacts. Each competency can be tied to evidence such as practitioner pieces, cases, media posts, workshops, or policy briefings.
4️⃣ Use the free tool today: the PIDP template. The paper provides a ready-to-use, free template (Figure 1) with columns for targeted competencies, activities, resources, timelines, and evidence of development—no paid software required. Download the article and adapt the template for your field, career stage, and goals.
5️⃣ Hardwire feedback so measurement drives improvement. Leaders get a concrete playbook (roles, check-ins, and the Feedforward Interview) to review progress, remove barriers, and reinforce behaviors that raise real-world impact. When PIDPs are reviewed annually, they become a fairer, richer metric than narrow counts alone.
