How an Academic Transformed a Public Report into $12K in Industry Licensing Revenue
- Leverage Wizly’s consulting automation tools to transform academic expertise into scalable digital products.
- Inaccessible Research, Unmonetized IP
- Lena Morris, a university researcher focused on workforce transformation, had authored a high-impact public report under a government grant. While her insights were academically sound:
1. Her reports were long, text-heavy, and difficult to digest
2. Business professionals and HR leaders often skimmed or skipped over key takeaways
3. She had no visibility into how her work was being consumed or cited
4. Inbound inquiries lacked structure and led to repeated manual explanation
5. There was no mechanism to monetize her research beyond academic publications
Lena needed a tool that would make her research consumable, searchable, and license-worthy across corporate and policy audiences.
- Repackaging Research into a Wizly Research Collection
Wizly enabled Lena to transform her static documents and data tables into an interactive digital advisory product, accessible and valuable to HR leaders, policymakers, and L&D professionals.
