Spreading Change

Improvement

Hold Gains

Spread

Implementing and Spreading Strategies is Iterative

Implementing Sustainably

• Infrastructure is in place to ensure long-lasting successful results (e.g. training, documentation, standardization, feedback and measurement systems, and adequate resourcing)

• Requires change to an existing system

• Increased awareness and reaction to the new strategy

• Implementation cycles generally require more time than testing cycles

• The team that tested the strategy will often be involved in implementing the strategy, and additional supports will be needed

Set-up-Target population

-Adopter audiences

-Successful sites

-Key partners

-Initial spread plan

Social System-Key messengers

Where do We Start?

What is a System?

“An interdependent group of items, people, or processes with a common purpose”

The Improvement Guide, Pg. 37

What can be viewed

as a System?• An organization

• A division

• A coalition

• A program

• A project

• Partnerships

What are the parts

of a System?• Relationships

• Processes

• People

• Tasks

• Beneficiaries

• Suppliers

“In a system, not only the parts, but the relationships

among the parts become opportunities for improvement”

Parts of a System

Processes

Linked

Together

Purpose of the System

The conversion of inputs into outputs

Individuals and Organizations involved

Resources required

Clients or beneficiaries

Outcomes that benefit a

customer or consumer

Measures

Setting Goals for Your Strategies

• SPECIFIC! Include a clear and well-defined SYSTEM (organization) and POPULATION (who exactly?)

• MEASURABLE! Includes QUANTITATIVE GOALS (how much?)

• ACTIONABLE! Within your sphere of influence

• REALISTIC! (but ambitious) It is aligned with your organization’s priorities and you have the time and resources

• TIME-BOUND! Includes a TIME FRAME by when results will be achieved (by when?)

SMART Goal Example

By March 2019, 50% more public schools

will be implementing Olweus Bullying

Prevention Program. Currently, 200

primary and middle schools are

implementing the Program. We aim to

reach 300 schools across Dade,

Montgomery, and Oak County.
