Reimagine organizational strategy with implementation at the center
For organizations working in complex systems, clarity of purpose and alignment around how the organization is involved in and contributes to effective implementation are essential.
Challenges like…
Competing or evolving priorities
Ambiguity around roles and responsibilities
Silos between departments or programs
Rapid policy or funding changes
Lack of shared understanding about your identity and direction
…can stall progress and lead to misaligned or fragmented implementation efforts.
Introducing: EmbedIS
EmbedIS is a unique service that helps you align your implementation efforts with your purpose and influence within the system—inviting you to explore key questions, such as:
Who are we?
What do we do?
How do we support implementation?
How do we maximize our impact?
In this context, how do we claim our power and define our role in the system?
All with the goal of strengthening your organization’s identity, focus, and impact.
This isn’t traditional strategic planning. In fact, EmbedIS can supplement your organization’s strategic planning efforts by helping you carve out your implementation role and embed implementation science into the fabric of your organization, thereby supporting your organizational goals and overarching strategy.
Shaping strategy from the inside out
Our expert facilitators guide groups through highly tailored and reflective planning sessions that can help you:
Articulate your organizational identity as it relates to implementation
Align your activities with implementation science principles and approaches
Clarify goals, roles, and responsibilities so everyone understands how they contribute to change
Position your organization with greater confidence and influence within your system
💡
🎯
Our process combines strategic facilitation, implementation science expertise, and collaborative inquiry.
The result is a strategy that’s both meaningful and actionable, anchored in who you are and how you can most effectively support change.
Support for organizations, funders, and leaders
While every group’s journey through strategic planning is unique, here are some examples of the kinds of progress we support:
For Organizations:
We help your organization make sense of its role in complex systems and infuse implementation science into its identity, role, strategy, and operations. You’ll leave with a shared understanding of how to support your change efforts and a clear plan for next steps.
For Funding Agencies:
We support you in clarifying your role in the implementation ecosystem and in identifying where your investments can have the greatest impact—including helping grantees move from intention to action.
For Leadership Teams:
We help you define your strategic position, build alignment across decision-makers, and set realistic, implementation-focused goals that make full use of your influence and capacity.
Helping organizations find their focus
We’ve supported strategic planning for a wide range of organizations—including those in healthcare, education, substance use prevention, and government. Here are some of the impacts that we’ve had:
National organization focused on addiction recovery, treatment, and prevention (United States)
🏥
Facilitated a strategic realignment process to clarify their system role, shifting from implementers to implementation supports and driving more coordinated, system-level impact.
National healthcare organization (Canada)
🏥
Partnered to identify and define their implementation support role, establishing structures and functions to strengthen system-wide implementation capacity.
Regional education agencies (United States)
📚
Supported county education leaders to envision what centralized statewide implementation support could look like, including selecting specific support strategies aligned with people's needs across the education system.
City-level organization focused on reducing child poverty (United States)
🏛️
Facilitated planning process that restructured team structures and organizational roles, resulting in the creation of formalized implementation teams and embedded implementation supports.
National cancer care organization (Canada)
Supported the core leadership team and partners to develop strategic directions for implementing cancer survivorship care pathways across Canada, enhancing coordination and alignment at the national level.
Many groups came in uncertain about their role in relation to implementation and how best to allocate resources—and left with greater clarity on what’s most important for them to do next
