| DESCRIPTION |
There are two implementation checklists presented here,
the first by VanGundy and the 2nd by Isaksen, Dorval and Treffinger.
Each has subtle differences in their perspectives.
Implementation Checklist 1 (VanGundy, 1988)
- Resources are the resources (time, personnel,
equipment, money, information) sufficient for executing this idea?
- Motivation, are there others with equal motivation
and commitment required for successful implementation?
- Resistance, is the idea likely to come across
any ‘closed thinking’ and/or resistance to change in
general?
- Procedures, are there any procedural complications
to get over
- Structures, are there any structural obstacles
to surmount (e.g. bad communication channels)?
- Policies, What official/unofficial policies need
to be overcome?
- Risk, will risk taking be tolerated by those
responsible for implementation and if so to what level?
- Power, do any power struggles exist relating
to the idea that might obstruct implementation?
- Clashes, are there any clashes of personalities
that may hinder advancement in the implementation?
- Climate, is the organisational environment one
of teamwork and co-operation or suspicion and distrust?
