About PIP©

Implementing evidence-based innovations in real-world settings is a complex process. While implementation science offers strategies to increase success, the wide range of theories, models, and frameworks can make it challenging to know where to start.

The Planning for Implementation Practice© (PIP) workshop offers a clear and practical introduction to implementation planning that is applicable across innovations, settings, and sectors. Designed for those working in health, mental health, education, and allied sectors, this workshop introduces participants to the core elements of evidence-based implementation using a structured, evidence-informed, case-based approach.

Participants will be guided through The Implementation Roadmap© (TIR)—a planning tool grounded in implementation science—by working through a detailed, real-world case example. This case-based format allows participants to explore each phase of the Roadmap, reflect on how the concepts apply in practice, and build confidence in using the TIR approach. Each participant will receive a copy of the TIR© Workbook to support future implementation planning in their settings.

By the end of the two-day workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the five core elements of evidence-based implementation planning.
  • Explain key implementation science concepts, frameworks (e.g., CFIR), and strategies (e.g., ERIC) relevant to health and allied health practice.
  • Understand how The Implementation Roadmap© works as a hands-on tool for planning implementation.
  • Identify common implementation challenges and recognize how structured planning (e.g., using linked tools like the Hexagon Tool or Practice Profile) can support better outcomes.
  • Reflect on their own implementation experiences and consider future opportunities to apply the TIR© in their work settings.

While the workshop is not designed for participants to develop their own implementation plans, it lays a strong foundation for applying evidence-based implementation practices post-workshop, which will require iterative process collaboration with participants’ implementation teams over time.

Audiences:

The PIP© workshop is for anyone who is implementing evidence in real-world settings.

This includes:

  • People working in organizations that are supporting an implementation initiative (intermediary/purveyor organizations)
  • Knowledge brokers, knowledge translation and mobilization professionals
  • Researchers
  • Practitioners or service providers in the community or other settings (examples: community centres, schools, non-profit organizations)
  • Policy and decision makers who want to learn about implementation to inform their work
