Brief Description:
information tooltip image Brief summary description of assessment instrument

The Stages of Implementation Completion® (SIC) is an eight stage tool of implementation process and milestones, with stages spanning three implementation phases: pre-implementation, implementation, and sustainment. The eight stages span implementation activities from Engagement to Achieving Competency.

SIC scores have predicted variations in implementation behavior.
