Hidden Curriculum: Igniting Change From the Middle
How can you inspire people, connect and convene people, and really enable change?
More and more people are trained and experienced in using implementation science theories, models, and frameworks, and now they want to understand the nuances of how to support change.
Our new online course peels back the curtain on implementation support practitioners, revealing the unwritten lessons on how to deliver high-quality implementation support.
Sit down with us as we spill the tea on what really makes a professional so great in this role — the things that implementation support practitioners do that aren’t really lifted up or taught in most courses.
We’re going beyond what’s typically covered in graduate school and traditional professional development training to bring you behind the scenes of what we’ve learned supporting thousands of changemakers for over a decade.
An implementation support role isn’t just about technical tasks — it’s also about the functions you serve to help people to implement.
In this course, we’ll break down these core functions, sharing important insights on the seemingly intangible elements of implementation support that often go unspoken but are necessary for igniting change.
Sneak peek of the modules
More details about the course are coming soon, but for now, here’s a sneak peek of each module.
Module 1: Foundations of Implementation Science
We’ll share an overview of the foundational parts of implementation and introduce the five functions that implementation support practitioners serve.
Module 2: Understand
Understanding is all about bringing people together and unpacking different perspectives and then weaving those back together to have a collective vision of what you are doing.
Module 3: Connect
Connecting is all about collaboration and building trust. Meaningful relationships are the foundation of everything we do in implementation.
Module 4: Inspire (Part 1)
Inspiring people is all about motivating, influencing, and persuading people to ignite that spark that moves things forward.
Module 5: Inspire (Part 2)
Inspiration is about encouraging people to act and make change happen.
Module 6: Enable
Enabling is all about removing barriers and leveraging facilitators and building capacity so people can do the implementation.
Module 7: Transform
Transforming is about considering our role as implementation support practitioners and how we can change to support our change efforts.
