Abstract:
Background: The importance of having a champion to promote implementation efforts has been discussed in the literature for more than five decades. However, the empirical literature on champions remains underdeveloped. As a result, health organizations commonly use champions in their implementation efforts without the benefit of evidence to guide decisions about how to identify, prepare, and evaluate their champions. The goal of this article is to present a model of champion impact that draws upon previous literature and is intended to inform future research on champions and serve as a guide for practitioners serving in a champion role. Methods: The proposed model is informed by existing literature, both conceptual and empirical. Prior studies and reviews of the literature have faced challenges in terms of operationalizing and reporting on champion characteristics, activities, and impacts. The proposed model addresses this challenge by delineating these constructs, which allows for consolidation of factors previously discussed about champions as well as new hypothesized relationships between constructs. Results: The model proposes that a combination of champion commitment and champion experience and self-efficacy influence champion performance, which influences peer engagement with the champion, which ultimately influences the champion’s impact. Two additional constructs have indirect effects on champion impact. Champion beliefs about the innovation and organizational support for the champion affect champion commitment. Conclusion: The proposed model is intended to support prospective studies of champions by hypothesizing relationships between constructs identified in the champion literature, specifically relationships between modifiable factors that influence a champion’s potential impact. Over time, the model should be modified, as appropriate, based on new findings from champion-related research. Plain language summary An innovation champion is an individual who works within an organization and who dedicates themselves to promoting a change within the organization, such as implementing a new intervention or a new quality improvement effort. Health organizations commonly rely on innovation champions, and existing literature on champions suggests they are important for successful organizational change. However, many questions remain about what effective champions do and what types of support they need to perform their champion role well. The goal of this article is to present a model of champion impact that draws upon previous literature and is intended to serve as a guide for future research on champions. In doing so, the model could support coordinated research efforts that answer questions about the characteristics, activities, and impacts of champions. Ultimately, this research could lead to development of useful guidance and tools for health system leaders to support champions within their organizations.

Abstract:
This article aims to explore the impact of emotions and behaviours of innovation champions on organisation innovation outcomes. Our research suggests that champions do not necessarily contribute to successful outcomes. This could be ascribed to the fact that the role of the innovation champion is often oversimplified, while the context and specific emotional experiences of the champion impact champion behaviour. Therefore, for the purposes of this article, we considered the innovation champion as an internal role player, soliciting support for innovation and thereby influencing outcomes. The study reanalyses the interview data of twenty innovation champions from six African countries within the financial services industry. The article provides additional insights into the complexities associated with ‘championing’, linked to the champion’s own emotional experiences, discretionary and citizenship behaviours. The study reveals that, although there is an increased awareness of the factors triggering champion behaviours, the description of the fluid role of the champion remains a challenge. The role of the innovation champion and the question whether such roles are over- or underrated will thus continue to receive attention in literature. Keywords: innovation champion, champion identity, harmful champion behaviour, champion emotional experience, champion role, champion behaviour

Abstract:
Literature on the champion theory proposes the informal character of the champion’s role and also notes difficulties in institutionalizing it. Nevertheless, formally institutionalized roles that seem to fit the description of a champion can be recognized in organizations, especially as enablers of open innovation activities. However, research cannot answer how this institutionalization occurs and which factors influence it. To answer these questions, we investigate a unique single case in which a champion role was institutionalized in the purchasing department of a multinational company. The new role’s task is to identify, select, and integrate supplier innovations. Our results indicate that the informal role of the champion can be successfully institutionalized when certain success factors are considered, which are management commitment, use of success stories, and matching of champions with research and development teams. We contribute to innovation management literature by using the well-established champion theory to explain how and why large multinational companies formally establish the role of the innovation champion. Our research offers pathways for further research about both, the antecedents and the consequences of role formalization. Practitioners can build on the success factors derived in this study when formally implementing innovation champions as enablers of open innovation activities.

Abstract:
This study looks at the role of champions in the early stages of the product development process, when employees try to secure initial funding for project proposals. Project proposals that fail to receive funding never become part of the firm’s project pipeline; hence, it is critical to understand the champion’s role early on. Existing research on corporate champions is mostly focused on the later stages of the new product development process and has generally identified corporate champions as key to projects likely to face organisational resistance. However, several recent studies suggest that champions may prefer projects less likely to face organisational resistance. Using data from project proposals of executive MBA students across 78 large organisations, we find that champion support for the team is weaker for project proposals likely to evoke resistance and that such lower champion support further reduces the likelihood of high-resistance early-stage proposals to receive initial funding.

Abstract:
Background: Community champions have been employed across various settings to disseminate evidence-based public health information. The Building Babies’ Brains programme trains champions to work with parents in communities, equipping them with child development knowledge and parental engagement strategies. We explored what makes community champions effective in distributing information to parents, including how the champion–parent relationship and champions’ personal characteristics affect information dissemination. Methods: Champions included both peers and professionals working with parents in target communities. We administered an online survey (n = 53) and follow-up interviews (n = 14) with champions, with representation from across all training cohorts. We conducted a realist-informed reflexive thematic analysis to generate themes in the data and highlight the contexts, mechanisms, and outcome patterns identified. Results: We observed 15 Context–Mechanism–Outcome configurations across five themes: information sharing opportunities, information relevance, the nature of the champion–parent relationship, interaction expectations, and champion confidence. Our programme theory for how the community champion approach works identified that peer champions focused more on building rapport, modelling behaviours, and being a trusted community resource than direct information transfer. Professional champions, in contrast, showed greater expertise and confidence in discussing parenting practices directly. For both groups, traits such as friendliness and the ability to establish a trusting relationship enhanced effectiveness. Conclusions: This research identifies the impacts of champion role, characteristics, and the champion–parent relationship on the effectiveness of knowledge mobilisation in this context, with implications for training and recruitment of champions. Those using a champion model in comparable settings should ensure that champions have the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence to engage parents and share information effectively.

Abstract:
Background/aims: The idea that champions are crucial to effective healthcare-related implementation has gained broad acceptance; yet the champion construct has been hampered by inconsistent use across the published literature. This integrative review sought to establish the current state of the literature on champions in healthcare settings and bring greater clarity to this important construct. Methods: This integrative review was limited to research articles in peer-reviewed, English-language journals published from 1980 to 2016. Searches were conducted on the online MEDLINE database via OVID and PubMed using the keyword “champion.” Several additional terms often describe champions and were also included as keywords: implementation leader, opinion leader, facilitator, and change agent. Bibliographies of full-text articles that met inclusion criteria were reviewed for additional references not yet identified via the main strategy of conducting keyword searches in MEDLINE. A five-member team abstracted all full-text articles meeting inclusion criteria. Results: The final dataset for the integrative review consisted of 199 unique articles. Use of the term champion varied widely across the articles with respect to topic, specific job positions, or broader organizational roles. The most common method for operationalizing champion for purposes of analysis was the use of a dichotomous variable designating champion presence or absence. Four studies randomly allocated of the presence or absence of champions. Conclusions: The number of published champion-related articles has markedly increased: more articles were published during the last two years of this review (i.e. 2015–2016) than during its first 30 years (i.e. 1980–2009). The number of champion-related articles has continued to increase sharply since the year 2000. Individual studies consistently found that champions were important positive influences on implementation effectiveness. Although few in number, the randomized trials of champions that have been conducted demonstrate the feasibility of using experimental design to study the effects of champions in healthcare.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the case of Ximena Aguilera, a prominent Chilean epidemiologist, as an exemplar of a champion in times of COVID-19 in Ibero-America. We also refine our understanding of the nature of a champion facing wicked problems. Design/methodology/approach The authors use qualitative case analysis to examine Aguilera’s actions in response to COVID-19 and compare her actions with the characteristics of an emerging theory of champions facing wicked problems. Findings This study builds iteratively upon prior analysis of gender equality champions and finds that the depth, scope and leverage of embracement of champions in times of COVID-19 are parallel to those of gender equality champions. The authors also discuss the findings from the perspective of wicked problems. Research limitations/implications Future qualitative and quantitative work is needed to examine the boundaries of the theory of champions facing wicked problems across a wider range of problem domains and in a wider population of champions. Practical implications Wicked problems can occur in multi-level organizational structures, and understanding the characteristics of individuals best-suited to contribute to the definition and solution of these problems is relevant to organizational selection, development, policy and practices. Social implications Many of the society’s greatest challenges are defined as wicked problems, so understanding the champions of wicked problems is critical for public policy and societal advancement efforts. The nature of wicked problems is considered, and the implications of champions of wicked problems for society are discussed. Originality/value This work offers an in-depth examination of a champion facing a wicked problem, here the COVID-19 pandemic, while the crisis is ongoing. By capturing the champion’s observations and experiences in real time, the authors obtain a perspective that is unique and unavailable through other methods.

Abstract:
Abstract Prolonged sitting is now recognized as an emergent work health and safety issue. To address the need for a scalable sitting-reduction intervention for workplaces, the BeUpstanding™ Champion Toolkit was developed. This free, online toolkit uses a ‘train-the-champion’ approach, providing a step-by-step guide and resources to workplace champions to assist them in raising awareness and building a supportive culture to reduce sitting time in their team. This qualitative study explored champion and staff perceptions of the beta (test) version of the toolkit. Seven work teams, from a range of workplace sectors (blue-/white-collar), sizes (small/medium/large) and locations (urban/regional) participated; all team members were exposed to the program (n = 603). Approximately 4 months after program initiation, semi-structured interviews were conducted with all champions (n = 7); focus groups were conducted with a random sample of staff (n = 40). Champions were followed-up again at 12 months (n = 5). Transcripts were coded by two researchers, with codes organized into overarching themes. All champions found the ‘train-the-champion’ approach, and the toolkit acceptable. Common enablers for intervention delivery included: champion passion for staff health and wellbeing; perceived fit of the program within existing practice; and, management support. Champions and staff reported improvements in knowledge/awareness about sitting, cultural norms, perceived stress, productivity and resilience. Facilitators for sustained change over time included a stable organizational climate and ongoing management support; barriers included workload intensification. The beta version of the BeUpstanding™ Champion Toolkit was highly acceptable to workplace champions and staff, and was perceived to have benefits for team culture and staff knowledge and wellbeing.

Abstract:
Abstract Aliviado Champions are hospice employees selected by their agency to lead the local implementation of the Aliviado program. Accordingly, training and retention of champions are critical to hospices’ success (or failure) of program implementation. As of February 2022, we have trained 308 champions across 19 agencies; 94% of the champions agreed all learning objectives were met. A total of 144 champions (97 nurses, 27 social workers, 16 chaplains, and 5 providers) completed pre- and post-training dementia knowledge surveys, demonstrating significant improvements in dementia knowledge, attitudes, and confidences in 7 out of 10 domains post training (p<0.005). The champion turnover rate during COVID-19 (March 2020-Feb 2022) was 11%. In addition, we share our experience adapting the originally 2 full-day, in-person Aliviado Champion Training into a Zoom-based format in response to COVID-19 including strategies to prevent Zoom fatigue. We also discuss strategies to address turnover and rapidly onboard new champions during COVID-19.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore how an “innovation champion” identity is formulated in the context of UK construction sector. A conceptual model of “innovation champion” themes is derived from the literature on social identity and then validated through empirical research. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 30 semi-structured interviews have been conducted with UK construction sector practitioners. The sample was composed active participants within the Constructing Excellence – the UK construction sector’s network-type organisation for driving innovation. Findings – Practitioners socially constructed “innovation champion” identities through narratives about “self” or others. While some practitioners saw themselves as “innovation champions”, many others recognised CEOs as such. “Innovation champions” are commonly recognised as key individuals who promote innovations across businesses. Practical implications – Socially constructed identities are seen important to strategic decisions and future actions. The potential contribution to practice is to help current and new generations of practitioners to learn about how to be or become “innovation champions”. Social implications – The concept of social identity presents opportunities to enrich our understanding of the “innovation champion” label can stimulate people’s reflections on who they are and what they do. Originality/value – The present paper has extended upon prior research and theory by exploring the ways practitioners perceive themselves or others as “innovation champions”. While this research has focused on the UK construction sector, the findings are potentially useful for other sectors where “innovation champion” labels are commonly used.

Abstract:

This qualitative research study explored the characteristics, emergence, and engagement of people who occupy the role of the family champion in family-enterprise systems. The family champion is a next-generation leader who emerges from within the ownership group of a family-enterprise system and who works to develop the ownership, governance, and relational capabilities of the family-owners to support their goals of success. This study investigated the interdependent exchanges between individual family champions, the family-ownership group, and their family-enterprise systems. Much of the existing research on leadership within family-enterprises has focused on leadership for the business entity. This study focused specifically on leadership within the family-ownership group. Ownership of an enterprise by a family has long been cited as a strategic asset. A need exists for further understanding of the role and function of leadership within the family-owners.

This study explored the characteristics, emergence, and engagement of 14 primary family champions through semi-structured qualitative interviews. An additional eight supporting interviews were conducted with another family member who was familiar with the primary interviewee to provide a complimentary perspective. The research was discovery based and designed to explore the experiences of family champions. The extensive interviews were transcribed and analyzed utilizing grounded theory principles with the assistance of NVivo 10 qualitative analysis software.

This research revealed a rich interaction between the context of family-enterprise systems, the characteristics of family champions, and systemic shift points that created the awareness of the need for leadership. The family champions worked to develop the family-ownership group through a cycle of engagement, to produce an advanced family-enterprise system. Four main themes linked to issues in family-enterprises emerged: The systemic context of family-enterprises, the process of leadership emergence, how family champions operate as catalysts for change, and governance of both family and enterprise. The family champion is a visionary catalyst who brings new energy into the family system to support and develop the family-ownership advantage. This research makes a contribution to our understanding of the vital role of leadership within family-enterprises, and has significance for individual leaders, families who own a business, and professionals who work with these systems.

The genus Trachyphloeomimus is redescribed and the T. championi species group is revised. The T. championi group includes three previously described species: T. championi O'Brien, T. spurcus Champion, T. undulatoides O'Brien; and thirteen new species: T. apionus, T. arcuatibius, T. batmobile, T. bravoensis, T. calcaritibius, T. carinatus, T. discus, T. festivipenis, T. heliconodulus, T. jonesi, T. junctus, T. obrieni, T. popeyeus. Relationships among these species are assessed and discussed and the monophyly of the species group is demonstrated. A key to species in the T. championi group and illustrations of species-group level defining characters are provided. Species in the T. championi group are restricted to Mexico, largely in the state of Oaxaca, but the distribution of the genus now includes Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador.

TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN MARKETING
El estilo de vida de los Chilenos ha cambiado en los últimos años y con ello la tenencia de mascotas en el hogar. El tamaño de las viviendas y el ritmo de vida más agitado han cambiado el mercado en relación a los productos asociados a las mascotas, por lo que están más dispuestos a adoptar animales más pequeños y fáciles de cuidar, lo que ha hecho que la tenencia de gatos se incremente de manera más veloz. A su vez, La tendencia a “reemplazar hijos por mascotas” ha incidido en un mayor cuidado y preocupación hacia los animales, lo que además de evidenciarse en una premiumización del mercado ha incidido en un trato de los animales más cercano al que se da entre humanos, demandando productos de mayor calidad y más costosos que incrementen la salud y felicidad de las mascotas. Esto, junto a otros factores situacionales han detonado en un interesante atractivo del mercado de productos para mascotas, en especial de la categoría de Arenas Sanitarias para gatos, por lo que en el siguiente Plan de Marketing se presenta una propuesta de valor para iniciar la participación de la empresa Champion S.A. en esta categoría, a través de un producto alineado a los principales driver de consumo y motivadores de compra dentro de categoría, pero con una diferenciación relevante y valorada por las dueñas de gatos. El tipo de producto seleccionado se perfila de gran calidad, eficiencia y a su vez alto valor percibido para las compradoras, como son las Arenas Sanitarias de Sílica Gel; pero que hasta ahora es mayormente desconocido, dada la baja comunicación en general de la categoría y en especial en las marcas de Sílica Gel. En este sentido, además se evalúa la posibilidad de lanzar este nuevo producto a través de la marca de alimentos para gatos Champion Katt, cuyas características podrían aportar y potenciar la imagen y percepción del producto; y a su vez, con este lanzamiento, apoyar la estrategia de esta marca, en términos de aumentar su valoración por parte de los dueños de gatos asociados al target. En función de lo anterior, el presente Plan de Marketing plantea una propuesta de Marketing Mix, inversión y distribución presupuestaria requerida para su desarrollo; y a su vez la metodología de implementación y pasos a seguir para su lanzamiento; sin dejar de definir sus objetivos de Marketing y sus respectivos mecanismos de control para evaluar los resultados del lanzamiento del nuevo producto: Cristales Sanitarios Champion Katt.

Abstract:
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and primary cause of long-term disability in the United States. Public awareness of stroke symptoms and ability to activate the emergency medical system (EMS) quickly are essential for early treatment. At a large Joint Commission-certified Comprehensive Stroke Center with over 6,000 employees, a stroke champion program that included both clinical and nonclinical volunteers was initiated to determine whether stroke champion volunteers could learn and disseminate information about stroke symptoms and the importance of activating EMS within their community. Roger's diffusion-of- innovation framework was used to design and evaluate the outcome of the project. A survey of 46 stroke champion hospital clinical and nonclinical employee volunteers was conducted using a secured web-based survey that employed a Likert scale to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The survey collected information on whether the stroke champion needed a license to perform their job at the hospital and evaluated the content of the program, the setting of the meeting, presenter's effectiveness, instructional method, and learners achievement of the programs objectives. Over 90% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the program achieved the objectives set forth in each category of the survey. A stroke champion program that incorporates all employees, not just nurses, could bring about positive social change by increasing health literacy through the dissemination of stroke information to all community members.

Abstract:
Developing collaborative practice is an ongoing process requiring frequent upgrades as team members and processes are added. Recently, faculty in ETSU’s Department of Family Medicine have been experimenting with a mechanism for iterative upgrades to team care practice known as Champion Teams. Champion Teams are based on the Institute of Medicine’s "learning health care system" approach in which practitioners develop an internal strategy for implementing new evidence based practices on an ongoing basis. In this presentation, our interprofessional team will describe team-based education and practice at ETSU as it relates to the Champion Team concept including its origins, evidence-base, and the logistics of how it functions. We will provide examples of four Champion Team projects including: 1) integrating behavioral health, 2) increasing attendance at medical visits, 3) increasing vaccination rates, and 4) a transition to a new pharmacological regimen for congestive heart failure patients. The exemplars will demonstrate how quality improvement data informed progressive changes and confirmed implementation outcomes. During discussion, we will encourage participants to identify their own targets for champion teams.

Abstract:
Abstract Digitalisation has been a significant enabler in most industries in improving business process and delivering value in recent years. The oil and gas industry is one of the industries that has been adopting digitalisation as part of their strategy to continue to bring innovations in most areas of the business. ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) recognized the growth of digitalisation demand in the business while availability of internal local resources with digital skills were still very limited. This prompted EMCL to find alternative ways to manage the growing digital needs within local capabilities. The idea of having internal local business resources as Digital Champions was established to bring in more digital energy. Digital Champion is a self-voluntary program, which distinct the program with other resource planning initiatives. When the program was launched in 2021, there were 45 people that joined as Digital Champion from cross-functions, showing the appetite of EMCL organization to digitalisation. Further, as the work progresses to 2022, the number has increased up to 80 Digital Champions, making 11% of EMCL population. Digital curriculum is tailored and prepared to answer business needs and feasibility as part of individual digital upskilling. The curriculum includes Data Literacy, Digital Tools and Agile Adoption. In its two-year journey, the program has continuously delivered values to the company. Many improvements to the business process which resulted in optimization and an increase in productivity have been delivered. Individual impacts have also been noticeable, by way of each Digital Champion manage to level up their digital skills. The program also nurtures collaborative environment and enable synergy cross-functionally as a team. Without limiting the boundaries of the Digital Champion program just as an enabler of digitalisation in the organization, this program is also designed for the sustainability of delivered digitalisation results and continuous improvements. It is believed that although the organization will have more capacity of dedicated resources for digitalisation, the self-voluntary Digital Champion program will remain to be valuable not just for the organization but also for the individuals.

Abstract:
This Groundwork seeks to offer reflections to help each person working for Busara understand how the organization thinks about DEI in theory and practice; it also offers insights on how each of us can work towards a more diverse, more equitable, and more inclusive organization. This process requires applying to ourselves the honesty that we champion, but often also struggle to maintain when we look at ourselves. It means to admit challenges freely, address them without judgement, check whether our beliefs are unclear, acknowledge emotions—and then start again. DEI is circular, non-ending work without clear key performance indicators, but with an emphasis on a process that can expand our beliefs and practice while cushioning or maturing our emotions.
