P.S. \u2018Practice change\u2019 is extension-speak for \u2018innovation adoption\u2019, \u2018action\u2019, or \u2018behaviour change\u2019. This model is so general it could used for practically any kind of change or action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back<\/strong> story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 I was asked do a tour-de-Queensland delivering facilitation training to farm extension staff in regions across the state*. After the very first workshop it hit me that I needed to shift focus to facilitating ‘practice change’ workshops where the goal is for growers to move towards new farming techniques. So we roughed out a model and then iterated improvements as I went from town to town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a 2-page summary of the final model we developed. It was also wonderful to see how every team freely developed variations to suit their needs (see samples below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s based on this simple theory of change: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical inspiration + talking through fears with peers + a social environment = people open up to change<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Thank you 100+ extension staff in Mareeba, Innisfail, Ingham, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton and Gayndah. And thank you John James<\/a> and the Enhanced Extension Program<\/a> of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for making it all possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
