Dr. Byron Powell and Dr. Laura Damschroder present a seminar on how to select implementation strategies that will overcome substantial contextual barriers to implementation. This presentation begins at the 5:00 minute mark. (Video; 73 minutes) 

This article by Powell and colleagues provides one of the earliest and most widely cited systematic frameworks for selecting and tailoring implementation strategies to specific contextual barriers and facilitators, which has helped the field to move toward more rigorous, theory‑informed matching of implementation strategies to implementation challenges.

This article by Fernandez and colleagues introduces Implementation Mapping, a rigorous, step‑by‑step planning process that links implementation determinants and theories of change to the systematic design, selection, and evaluation of implementation strategies, addressing a major gap between implementation theory and pragmatic strategy development.

Dr. Daniel Almirall from the University of Michigan describes the need for multilevel implementation strategies and introduces the concept of multilevel adaptive implementation strategies, which target different strategies to different levels but also are adaptive to organizational needs. (Video; 30 minutes)

In this presentation, Dr. Aaron Lyon from the University of Washington discusses applying principles of human-centered design to implementation strategies, with the goal of designing strategies that are scalable and feasible. The CWIS is a structured mixed-methods process that seeks to ensure that implementation strategies are practical and useable. (Video; 42 minutes)
