Agency Implementation Teams: What to Consider as You Lead (or Co-Lead) BBI/Six Core Implementation

This handout identifies various cross function, executive leadership, and day-to-day managerial skills that must be tended to during the implementation process. An accompanying worksheet is provided, which serves as a brief tool to be used as an agency develops the leadership and implementation team members who will be involved in supporting the use of BBI/Six Core. It includes discussing how much dedicated FTE each staff member will have for BBI/Six Core implementation, as well as a way to discuss the programmatic and implementation assets each team member can bring to the team. This tool can be completed as a team or by one individual team member and then discussed as a group.

Attention to cross agency roles, executive leadership functions, and daily managerial skills is important. Identifying and resolving gaps in either skillset early on contributes to successful implementation.
