IMPLEMENTATION LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES
REFINED FOR THOSE WORKING IN THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM
ACJI has identified 10 principles that are at the crux of Implementation Leadership and are especially helpful for justice agency leaders.
Every participant will be very familiar with the Essential Principles of Implementation Leadership© before the Academy is through. You will also have the opportunity to apply the principles to unique scenarios that only those in the justice field will understand. Plus, you’ll see your role as a leader through a new lens, and we promise you won’t look at your work the same again.
10 ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES OF IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
IN ACJI'S IMPLEMENTATION LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
The Implementation Leadership Academy is an eight-week virtual program that gives you dedicated time to work on pressing challenges. You’ll only need about three hours each week to do the work. And you’ll see benefits right away. In fact, it won’t take long to start employing effective implementation! Those who complete the Academy and are looking to go even deeper into adaptive leadership and implementation science are invited to the follow-up program, ACJI’s Advanced Academy.

CHOOSING BETWEEN A PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ACADEMY
BOTH Types Of Academies are virtual and COVER THE SAME MATERIAL. Decide Which Is BEST FOR YOU and your organization.
ACJI hosts two public Implementation Leadership Academies a year, one that starts in February and one that starts in September. We limit attendance for all of our Academies to ensure a worthwhile experience for all. This allows our facilitators to better dedicate time to each participant’s journal entries and questions during live sessions.
Private Academies are held all throughout the year for all kinds of organizations, not just justice agencies. Private programs can be very cost-effective and an excellent way to create team cohesion and expedite the slow work of implementation.
Each Academy type, public and private, comes with its own benefits. Which one is right for you or your organization?
PUBLIC ACADEMY
- A cohort of justice leaders from various organizations
- Takes place in Feb/Mar and Aug/Sept/Oct each year
- Get insight from leaders working outside your organization
- Your organization only has a few mid- to high-level leaders interested or able to attend
- You see it as part of new hire onboarding and/or existing leadership’s development
- Allows you to take only a few people out of the workplace at one time
OR
PRIVATE ACADEMY
- Cohort(s) of leaders from your organization and/or affiliated organizations you invite
- Timed to fit your schedule
- Establish a common understanding among your own team members
- Your organization has more than 10 leaders interested
- You want the team building aspect and/or to take a joint first step toward a specific change initiative
- Everyone on the team is able to attend at once
