Need

The CRC now has a wealth of current information about various aspects of Australians seafood consumption. The issue now is how to get this information out to the various stakeholders in the Seafood industry in such a format that companies can use the results in a very practical way to improve their returns and ensure their continued sustainability.

This education module has been designed to be practical, flexible and widely disseminated and so fulfil needs in several ways as follows:

• The module has been designed based on a transformational learning model, that is, a model where participants are required to reflect on their current practices and behaviours and then based on information provided, plan operational changes to maximise firm benefits.

• The module is being designed for delivery in two formats, face-to-face and digitally/online to maximise the potential audience reached. The online materials will provide access for those who cannot attend face-to-face sessions, as well as providing an ongoing resource for those who do attend face-to-face.

• The face-to-face component will be delivered in a mix of capital cities and regional locations to maximise exposure to where industry is actually located. This multimodal approach is designed to ensure the widest possible dissemination of results as well as providing face-to-face participants with a resource than can use within their own organisations.

Summary

The Seafood CRC now 'owns' the most up-to-date and extensive research data on how and why consumers purchase and consume seafood, gathered through a variety of projects including Repositioning Australian Farmed Barramundi, the Omnibus Surveys and the Retail Transformation project to name a few. The challenge was to communicate this knowledge, and more importantly to help firms to apply this knowledge to achieve improved returns.

This project was an Education and Training project with a key purpose being the dissemination of consumer research findings from other CRC projects. This project allowed for wider dissemination by not only relying on face-to-face delivery but also developing an online resources equivalent.

Need

There is a need to investigate to what extent Seafood CRC research outcomes (as a moderating variable) have affected the performance achieved by Seafood CRC industry partners through resource and capability development which enables a business to realise economic value and a sustainable competitive advantage.
