UNLOCKING THE POWER OF IMPLEMENTATION LEADERSHIP

Leaders who understand the science of implementation and how to lead change in organizations are better equipped to execute strategies effectively, navigate complexity, engage employees at all levels, and drive continuous improvement, ultimately contributing to the long-term success and sustainability of their organizations. 

UNLOCKING THE POWER OF IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE

A multi-agency community of practitioners transformed their approach to work with implementation science and wrote about it in the June 2024 issue of Federal Probation. The authors describe how organizations can pursue sustainable, incremental change within human-serving systems across diverse delivery frameworks, despite initial and continuing challenges.

LEGISLATIVE IMPACT TOOL

Efforts to make change through legislation alone have a limited impact on system outcomes. Agency heads and legislators must consider how they craft, structure, and design legislation for success. Our Implementation Impact Tool will help you do that.
