The coaching approach is considered more effective for supporting changes in practices. It involves positioning oneself as a facilitator, mobilizing the strengths and expertise of the people or groups being supported, creating a cooperative relationship with these people, stimulating their autonomy, and so on. The guide Soutien à l’implantation de pratiques prometteuses et au transfert de connaissances developed by Lane and her team for the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux, puts forward this approach.
