It explains how research activity must translate into vision, operational, tactical (1–5 years), and strategic plans (more than 5 years). Using technology as an enabler, it outlines a national water strategy with strategic objectives and nine strategic programs and initiatives, and ends with a brainstorming prompt to convert one research insight into future-changing strategy.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":11,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/research-to-strategy-harnessing-technology-for-water-security/240737/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/research-to-strategy-harnessing-technology-for-water-security/240737.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Mabel","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-09-11",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":101},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",9,{"@type":103,"mainEntity":104},"FAQPage",[105,111,115],{"name":106,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":108},"Why does the presentation emphasize turning research insights into strategy rather than doing research alone?","Question",{"text":109,"@type":110},"It states that research does not equal strategy—activity alone does not lead to outcomes.
