INTEGRATION & IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCES

Welcome to the November/December i2S News, our last for 2019. You’ll see that this is a much shorter News than usual, featuring just three updated resources, plus a list of the blog posts published in the last two months.

We’ve been busy over recent months reviewing options for updating the ‘look’ of the i2Insights blog (http://i2insights.org) and if all goes well, we’ll be ending 2019 with a new home page. The idea is to feature not only the latest blog post, but also snippets of the four most recent ones. Each month we also plan to highlight blog posts on a specific topic such as research implementation, collaboration, modelling or stakeholder engagement. We are also celebrating a fourth successful year for the i2Insights blog.

Purpose: To provide those helping communities “identify and adopt more sustainable practices” with a range of on-line resources that support “social learning and constructive action in multi-stakeholder settings.” Description: The resources are organised under the following categories: Social learning, including systems thinking, building networks and knowledge management; Planning, monitoring and evaluation (PM and E); Collaboration/engagement, including stakeholder mapping and analysis and working across cultures; Supporting change; Research, including participatory action research and managing integration; Sustainable development.
