Implementing Organizational Resources to Support Behavioral Change

To target staff at all levels of an organization, including executive leaders, mid-managers, and line staff, to assess the context in which they are delivering EBP. The resources include a process to assess, at all levels of an organization, systemic readiness to adopt innovations that support behavior change among supervised individuals. The assessment findings will determine where organizations align with adopting innovations by identifying policy and practice gaps within leadership, staff competency, and organizational support areas. Findings will be translated into tactical plans that will include identifying areas of strength and prioritizing recommendations. A final and critical focus of the work will be to support the implementation of the tactical plans, the goal of which will be to reinforce the sustained use of change-oriented interventions for persons under community supervision.
