How to ensure that your crops are ready for harvest
“Seeds you plant today determine the harvest you reap tomorrow.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo
A favorite pastime for residents of the Garden State is to rise early on a Saturday morning and visit their local farmers market. Being ready for an early arrival at the farmers market allows shoppers a first chance at best quality produce and access to a wider variety of produce before it sells out. The same readiness applies to any effective implementation plan. How do you determine who is ready and prepared to implement an innovation successfully? As your implementation journey begins, with your innovation determined and your infrastructure established, selection plays a critical role in successful implementation. If selection is not carefully targeted, it may result in confusion, diminished confidence in the innovation, or participant disengagement. This blog aims to highlight the importance of district selection in successfully implementing a usable innovation.
