We also seek to build the competency and capacity of our own staff to provide external implementation support for change efforts undertaken by partner organisations and service systems. Both the organisations we work in, and we, as leaders in these organisations, are therefore interested in a better understanding of what is needed to provide effective implementation support and how these competencies can be built.  \nWe have also worked in partnerships with universities and other organisations in our different countries and settings to create new education and training programmes and qualifications for those working with implementation in practice. When these programmes are being delivered, our students have called for skill development that moves beyond the walls of classrooms and educational institutions, so they are better prepared for working in the field to support the use and scale up of evidenced interventions to improve outcomes for people and communities.  \nThese considerations started our initial thinking, research and consultation about the role and competencies of implementation support practitioners. What began as a small project in 2017, developed into a more comprehensive examination of implementation support, a field that is diverse both in terms of terminology and “schools of thought”.  \nThis practice guide is the result of our collective thinking about how this knowledge can be synthesised and applied in real world implementation support practice in human services. The field is constantly evolving. Since we began work on this collaborative project, we have observed a growing interest in understanding how to better utilise implementation support in the field. This is evident in different service sectors, where professionals request relevant knowledge that can be translated into organisational practice, and among scholars of implementation science, who report increasing numbers of studies assessing how to best design, embed and monitor implementation support inhuman services.  \nThis is an encouraging trend, which we are proud tobe part of. We hope that this guide will be of value toa broad range of agencies and organisations wanting to develop and/or collaborate with implementation support practitioners in different human services.  \nWe would really welcome feedback and reflections on the use of this guide when it has found its way into different settings and contexts, and we look forward to ongoing debate and learning about the practice of supporting implementation.  \nAllison Metz  \nNational Implementation Research Network, USA  \nKatie Burke  \nCentre for Effec","cbCaictqpmvbhOSQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaictqpmvbhOSQ","pdf",2060255,49,"English","# Foreword\n# Acknowledgements\n# Introduction\n# What is implementation support\n# Principles and competencies\n# Dilemmas when supporting implementation\n# Reflective questions\n# How we developed the guide\n# Resources and further reading","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the practice guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide explains why capacity for better implementation matters and how building competencies helps improve outcomes through evidence-informed approaches.\"},{\"question\":\"What competencies do implementation support practitioners need?\",\"answer\":\"They need the skills to assess, select, tailor, and apply implementation frameworks, strategies, tools, and approaches that fit the specific context and setting.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the guide developed?\",\"answer\":\"It was created through collaborative thinking, research, consultation, and partnerships, including input that informed the systematic integrative literature review behind the guide.\"}]","A Practice Guide to Supporting Implementation - What competencies do we need? - December 2020 | PDF",1792055114,123]
