= Notes About How This Resource is Deployed =
Add text here...This examination should include: • Identification of key stakeholders who share the interest and need for change • Assessment of the degree to which these stakeholders perceive the issue or need to be a priority • Willingness of leadership from multiple agencies and programs to support the change process over a period of time • Identification of a leadership team responsible for the oversight of necessary aspects of the change process over time • Desire to engage in discussions and gather information about potential solutions to identified needs • Knowledge of implementation science and its application to the change process It is important to recognize that, planning and engaging in the implementation of any new innovation, evidence-based practice, or cluster of practices takes time, energy and resources. The change process can be understood and organized using defined steps and subsequent activities that are needed to move a concept into reality. These steps and activities are outlined in the following document, "A Guide to the Implementation Process: Stages, Steps and Activities". A Guide to the Implementation Process: Stages, Steps and Activities page 7 Stage 1: Exploration The goals of the exploration stage are to identify the need for change, determine what innovation or set of practices are likely to meet that need, and to decide whether or not to move ahead with the implementation process. This stage, and all other stages, are guided by a State Leadership Team. The State Leadership Team (SLT) should include cross- sector representation of agencies and programs impacted by the proposed initiative. The composition, vision and mission of this initial team may change over time as they go through the stages and steps. The SLT ensures that the perspectives of key stakeholders from every level of the service system are included as a part of a needs assessment of the current service delivery system. All available data describing current challenges and need for change should be gathered and shared with stakeholders. Stakeholders help build a common understanding of the current status and the desired changes in practices and outcomes. They are included in exploring potential practices or innovations to determine how well they fit with the mission, values, desired outcomes and resources of the agency/program.
