Implementation Management

Turn Great Plans Into Actual Practice

Bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Our implementation support ensures your initiatives move from boardroom decisions to classroom reality with sustained results.

The Implementation Gap Everyone Recognizes

Research-backed initiatives often follow a predictable pattern: strong initial adoption, gradual decline in fidelity, and eventual drift back to previous practices. Implementation science identifies this as the classic "implementation cliff" – the gap between knowing what works and sustaining it in practice.

Most organizations focus heavily on the exploration and preparation stages – selecting evidence-based practices and providing initial training. However, they underestimate the active implementation and sustainment stages, where new practices must be integrated into existing systems and workflows.

Without structured implementation support, even the most promising initiatives face predictable challenges: inconsistent application across settings, competing priorities that override new practices, and lack of data systems to monitor fidelity and outcomes.

The result is a cycle that undermines both immediate goals and long-term change capacity: wasted investment in evidence-based practices, educator skepticism toward future initiatives, and missed opportunities for meaningful student impact.

Strategic Support for Sustainable Change

Effective literacy transformation requires leaders who understand both the science of reading and the science of implementation. We train literacy leaders to move beyond program adoption toward strategic implementation management that creates lasting change.

Our implementation science training develops leaders who can:

Navigate implementation stages systematically – from exploration through sustainment, with clear benchmarks and decision points
Address barriers proactively – identifying and resolving organizational, individual, and systemic obstacles before they derail progress
Build adaptive capacity – developing internal systems and expertise that respond to emerging challenges without external dependence
Use data strategically – monitoring implementation fidelity and outcomes to make evidence-based adjustments
Create sustainable infrastructure – establishing coaching, support, and quality assurance systems that outlast individual initiatives

We don't just teach literacy leaders what to implement—we equip them with implementation science frameworks to lead transformation efforts that stick. Your leaders learn to design, monitor, and sustain change processes that create measurable impact and build organizational capacity for future initiatives.

The Implementation Support Process

Phase 1: Implementation Planning (Weeks 1-2) Detailed analysis of your initiative, current context, and potential implementation barriers. We work with your team to create realistic timelines, identify needed resources, and anticipate challenges before they derail progress.

Phase 2: Launch Support (Weeks 3-6) Intensive on-site and virtual support during initial implementation. Real-time coaching, problem-solving sessions, and adjustment of strategies based on early implementation data and feedback.

Phase 3: Embedded Coaching (Weeks 7-20) Ongoing support that evolves with your needs—classroom coaching for teachers, leadership coaching for administrators, and system-level problem solving for organizational barriers.

Phase 4: Sustainability Building (Weeks 21-26) Gradual transition to internal capacity with continued consultation. We help you develop internal coaches, refine monitoring systems, and prepare for independent implementation.

Phase 5: Long-term Consultation (As needed) Available support for complex challenges, new staff onboarding, or initiative expansion. Ensuring your investment in change continues to pay dividends.

Perfect for Organizations Serious About Implementation

Leadership Teams Who:

Understand the difference between training and implementation
Want to build internal capacity for managing change
Are willing to adapt strategies based on evidence and feedback
Recognize that implementation is a complex, ongoing process

Schools/Districts That:

Have invested in quality initiatives that aren't reaching their potential
Want to avoid the "initiative of the year" cycle
Face specific barriers to implementation (capacity, culture, systems)
Value sustained change over quick compliance

Perfect Timing When:

You're launching a significant new initiative
Previous implementation efforts have stalled or shown mixed results
You're expanding a successful pilot to full implementation
New leadership inherits partially implemented initiatives
Staff turnover threatens implementation sustainability

Not Right If:

You're looking for someone to implement initiatives for you
You prefer top-down mandates over collaborative problem-solving
You're not willing to adapt plans based on implementation realities
You want quick fixes rather than sustainable change

Implementation Expertise Born from Educational Reality

LMNO PD understands that implementation is where good ideas meet complex reality. Our team has extensive experience supporting schools and districts through the challenging process of turning initiatives into sustainable practice.

We combine change management expertise with deep understanding of educational systems, ensuring that implementation support addresses both the technical and adaptive challenges that determine success or failure.
