Accelerating the implementation of innovations in NHS organizations by learning from other sites

This PhD project is focusing on the ways in which the speed and effectiveness of the implementation of innovations in NHS organisations may be enhanced, by learning from the experience of other sites.

The project is exploring the value of various aspects of mutual learning from other implementation sites for implementing organisations including: The relative value of transferring tacit know-how versus explicit knowledge in the implementation process; the implications of innovation adaptations; and the usefulness of different means of capturing, codifying, and exchanging knowledge. A qualitative multi-site approach is involved, encompassing sender and receiver organizations engaged in implementing the same or similar innovation.
