We created the Implementing Change Community (ICC) to provide you with the kinds of supports that will help you move your implementation work forward.

In our projects with different organizations and communities, we've realized that those who provide implementation support to local implementers need support as well.

This includes help with problem solving, brainstorming resources, working through challenging situations, and not forgetting the emotional aspect of implementation.

The idea behind ICC 💡

We launched the Implementing Change Community to foster this idea that implementation truly is a community of people — it's a place where we can lean on each other and problem solve together.

By bringing together implementers to share knowledge and skills, our goal is to empower you to lead change in more effective ways.

We will take you from feeling isolated, stuck, and confused to feeling confident, supported, and productive.

This is where real change happens!

Who is this community for?

The Implementing Change Community is for those looking to connect with liked-minded people within the implementation practice world.

Whether you’re…

  • An experienced and trained implementer who is looking to connect, collaborate, and learn from colleagues who are dealing with similar challenges in applying implementation science…

  • A new/novice implementer or implementation support practitioner who wants to learn from others who have experienced similar challenges (and wins) and discover different tools/resources they used…

  • An intermediary, or funder, or researcher who supports implementation and wants to better understand the practical applications of implementation science…

  • A graduate student who wants to prepare for what real-world implementation looks like and add to your toolbox to better equip yourself…

  • “If you are tasked with creating change in your work, the Implementation Change Community is a place where you will find supports from people who are passionate about making this happen. The resources, networking and coaching sessions provided me with helpful tools and a sense of belonging as I charted the course for implementation programming in my organization.”

    - Dorina Simeonov

  • “Being a member of the Implementing Change Community has been instrumental in my professional development within Knowledge Translation and specifically Implementation. As someone new to this field, it has provided me with an instant set of colleagues to network with and learn from. Any question is welcome on the forum and it is also an opportunity to give and get input on tools, tasks, presentations, etc. that you and others are working on. The breadth and depth of expertise within this community is evident as I have yet to see a question not get answered.”
