Solution Implementation

Solution Implementation and Impact

Implementing your solution after identifying a need and developing a model

The Fun Part!

Getting your process rolling!

Once you've identified a need and developed a logic model, you can begin implementing your process. To implement your process, you must define a step-by-step guide to implementation, and provide continuous support to ensure the success of your process. As part of continous support, you will be able to see immediate impacts.

After establishing a need, and a solution to remedy that need, you must plan out your implementation. Having a neatly outlined and realistic implementation plan can ease the transition and indicate current or future challenges.

IMPLEMENTATION

You've assessed a need, you've found a solution, you created a plan. It's time to put your plan into action and follow your plan, adjusting along the way if needed.

Continuous Monitoring and Support

Frequently checking the progress of the solution is essential to a smooth implementation. Checking in at regular periodic intervals on adherence to timeline, budget, goals, and expectations can benchmark the solution implementation process and show support for implementation staff. Support should not stop after the solution is implemented. Some solutions require additional support beyond the implementation stage to ensure continued understanding and efficiency. A solution may become frustrating if all transition support is dropped immediately after implementation.

Immediate Impacts

The impacts should be felt in the immediate and short term beyond implementation. Impacts are not always positive, and understanding negative impacts is just as important as the positive ones. Even if a solution was successfully implemented, the entire process is not finished until you understand what impacts your solution caused. Impacts may include changes in staff morale, customer morale, customer satisfaction, efficiency, speed, ease, time, and more.
