Action Cycle (Application)

The action cycle is the process by which knowledge is implemented.

The "Action Cycle" represents phases of activities that, according to planned-action theories, are needed for knowledge applications to achieve a deliberately engineered change in groups that vary in size and setting.

The 7 phases of the Action Cycle include:

1. Identify the Knowledge-To-Action Gaps
2. Adapt Knowledge to Local Context
3. Assess Barriers to Knowledge Use
4. Select, Tailor, Implement Interventions
5. Monitor Knowledge Use
6. Evaluate Outcomes
7. Sustained Knowledge Use
