Question

One reason that many ideas are not successful is that a viable implementation plan was not created. What do you believe are the most significant considerations in creating an implementation plan? Support your view.

Answer 1

For making an idea a success, a proper implementation is essential. An implementation plan needs to be created to ensure successful implementation of the idea. The most significant considerations in creating an implementation plan are :

• The first requirement of an implementation plan is the clarity of outcomes. The end result that an idea and its implementation is trying to achieve must be outlined and detailed out to all the members involved in the implementation project.
• After the outcome is finalised, the next step is to determine the sequence of steps and action plan to follow and stick to the steps. The plan of action must be brainstormed, finalised and communicated to all the team members.
• Once the action plan is finalised, a team member must be made responsible and accountable for each step. The responsible team member must be given access to all resources and budget for successfully completing the step.
• The project implementation leader should monitor the completion of steps by each responsible team member and track the progress on a regular basis.
• In case of any deviation from schedule or cost and time overruns, feedback must be given to the team members to bring back the implementation process on track till implementation of the idea is completed.
