About PIP
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 digital copy of the TIR to support future implementation planning in their settings.
Implementation planning is a collaborative group activity that is conducted by an implementation team. As such, participants will not be planning their own implementation endeavour in this workshop but will leave with a structured approach they can use with their teams after the workshop.
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.
Hear from past attendees:
"The theoretical presentation provided a clear understanding of the process, while the practical examples demonstrated how to apply it. I left feeling inspired and motivated to support an implementation project!"

"There are so few opportunities for continuing education. This workshop does an excellent job of educating non-experts and clinicians. It is practice-changing."
