Problem Solving and Decision Making 3. Implementation

Problem Solving and
Decision Making
3. Implementation

Until it is acted on,
a decision is only
a good intention.

Develop a plan for implementation.
Elements:

Step-by-step process or actions for solving the problem

Communications strategy for notifying stakeholders
Where important or necessary, inform those who care for you and/or will be affected by the change. Prepare them as necessary about your decision

Resource identification/allocation

Timeline for implementation

Monitor progress

Your implementation will only be successful if you are monitoring your solution, the effects of it on resources and stakeholders, your timeline, and your progress. As you monitor your progress, if results are not what you expect, review your options and alternatives.

Whether or not you achieved your goals,
it is important to consider what you have learned from your experience: about yourself, about what you consider important.

Lastly, if you have done your best,
you have this as one measure of success.
