How do you typically approach conflict in your #Implementation work?

Conflict is a natural part of change. Navigating these moments means finding the right balance between advocating for your needs and working collaboratively with others.

Trust is built over time, one conversation at a time. 🤝

Strong relationships with partners and collaborators are at the heart of successful #Implementation efforts.

We ❤️ this sketch highlighting 6 things to consider before starting a conversation about trust.

The authors of this paper explore the connection between #policy and #ImplementationScience and offers six key recommendations to advance research on the critical roles policy can play in #Dissemination & #Implementation, particularly in #Healthcare: …plementationscience.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The authors present a case study for adding an equity lens to an #implementation trial. The authors share practical recommendations for embedding equitable implementation in change initiatives, offering insights relevant across different contexts:

Progress rarely follows a straight line. ↗️ ↘️

In #ImpSci, every journey looks a little different. There are breakthroughs, detours, and moments that call for a change in direction.

The goal isn’t to follow a perfect path. It’s to keep learning, adapt, and move forward!

Did you know that only 1 in 7 evidence-based change initiatives are ever implemented in the real-world? This article explores the paradigm of "Valleys of Death" and outlines implications for researchers to embed #ImpSci in the research pipeline: doi.org/10.1093/tbm/ib…

This study explored what training experts identify as essential content for teaching #ImplementationPractice in #healthcare. These findings can inform future capacity-building initiatives and research to help bridge the gap between research and practice: doi.org/10.1186/s43058…

How do you fully define the WHAT, WHO and HOW of your change initiative?

Often, people believe they are ready to plan for #implementation, without having defined each of these components.

In this article, we revisit the core of implementation: thecenterforimplementation.com/toolbox/defini…

These days, teams come in many shapes and forms. They can be dispersed, virtual, temporary, or remote—and the way we work together continues to evolve. This article explores five key characteristics of effective teams in today’s changing work landscape.
