| Dean Fixsen, Ph.D. – WMR Presentation |
Dean Fixsen, Ph.D., Co-Director, National Implementation Research Network, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, presented on the Science and Practice of Implementation to Transformation Transfer Initiative to participants on June 4, 2009. Because effective innovations do not fit well in existing organizational structures and systems, it is essential to expect and plan for changes. Dr. Fixsen discusses how to develop, improve, and sustain innovations and stages of implementation. Critical to implementation is the designation of an implementation team to develop the infrastructure and to promote and sustain the system change.
