From Intention to Impact: The Science of Implementation

from The CharacterStrong Podcast · host CharacterStrong

Today our guest is Jenice Pizzuto, Implementation Training Specialist at CharacterStrong. We dive into why change is both personal and emotional, and how implementation science gives leaders a roadmap for turning intention into lasting impact. If you've ever adopted a new initiative only to watch it fade, this conversation will help you understand why, and what to do differently. In this episode, we answer critical leadership questions about implementation: Why do new initiatives fail even when the idea is strong? What is the difference between a theory of change and a change theory? Who should be on an implementation team? Why should implementation goals focus on adult behavior first?
