Although you will not implement your project during this course, it is important that you understand the various steps that are necessary to do so. As you begin to formulate your strategic plan for implementing your change project, discuss the following specific to your proposed project.

Consider these questions as if the proposed interventions were being implemented in your facility:

• Who are the stakeholders within your organization? Please identify them by role or job within the organization, not by name.
• Who are the “champions” or people within your organization that you can convert to “champions”?
• What potential barriers do you foresee specific to your organization and group project?
• What strategies do you envision to prevent or overcome these barriers?

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references.
