Implementing a New Programme at Local Level

New Programme Cooperativa

When implementing a New Programme The following factors must be taken into

considerationCulture and size of the organisationLength of time since last programme reviewHow many organisations are involved in the

reviewFinanceReason for the reviewScope of the review (Names, Ages, Objectives)If using R A P - and in what wayWhether to pilot or not to pilot


PilotPROS

9 months optimumGroups/ Section volunteer to be part of the

pilot processTraining of leaders together in new

programmeEvaluation and Feedback is regular every

cycle (3 months)Fine tuning of draft material is quick.


PilotCONS

18 months too long – leader resources on planning team can become depleted.

Resistance to change can bring compromise

Leaders become anxious while waiting for the process to finalise


No PilotPROS

It’s quickEquality – all start at the same timePiloting – only a snapshot of the whole new

programmeClear end of the development processWhen piloting, more resistance when you

don’t apply the feedback of local leaders


No PilotCONS

If new Programme is not good, no time to amend and may lose enthusiasm and confidence of Leaders.

No knowledge of whether the programme is user friendly

No feedback from local level for reviewCould be viewed as ‘decision from the top’

– being told what to do.


General CommentsResistance to change will always happen

whether Piloting or not PilotingGroups that volunteer to pilot are more

ready to accept changeTotal implementation for all age ranges at

the one time increases the resistance throughout all sections.

Implementation section by section, while reducing resistance must embrace the total concept and process of the programme review.


Next steps…. LaunchingStrategy - ‘ The Message’

What’s in it for me (Why)Identify crucial questions from local leaders

perspective and have the answers before they are asked.

Positive effects and benefits for ScoutsNeeds a single focus from the NSO –

complete integration from all aspects of the association.


Practical IssuesHow to sell/distribute/pre-order.User friendly structure to receive materials but

consider traditions culture and size of NSO.Do the local leaders have to ‘act’ or is it sent to

them anywayPrice – do I have to pay, period of ‘special offer’If free – is it for all or just a few (Section Leaders)Is there a good time of year to launchAdapt the launching methods to the style of the

materialConsider public image – use the Media
