KTA Tools

Applying pragmatic and valid tools can support change teams to accurately monitor knowledge use and strengthen their understanding of these factors. Additionally, a tool’s results and analysis help change teams prepare for the next action cycle phase, ‘Evaluate outcomes’.

The table below lists the tools that can be used to monitor knowledge use. For each tool, two documents are provided – 1) a summary page that includes the tool’s purpose, description and applicable action cycle phases, and 2) a companion document that details the tools’ pragmatic and psychometric properties.

NOTE: 

*All of the tools listed below can also be considered for use during the action cycle phase: Assess barriers and facilitators to knowledge use. 

**All of the tools listed below can be considered for use during the action cycle phases: Identify the problem/Determine the know/do gap and Assess barriers and facilitators to knowledge use.
