Description
Designed to assist the implementation of CII Best Practices into real world projects. Provides a number of tools to assist in planning and executing the implementation of the best practices. Describes each Best Practice, lists essential elements of each, and summarizes reported benefits. Also includes a checklist for evaluating level of implementation at project or organization level and a list of pertinent CII references for each Best Practice. Packaged in a three-ring binder with a divider for each Best Practice.

Description
Provides a path forward to understanding the CII Implementation Model and the CII Knowledge Structure. The section on the model includes a discussion of key issues to improve implementation. The CII Knowledge Structure helps users determine specific best practices to use. This guide provides an overview of the CII Knowledge Structure, the screening process for how CII establishes its best practices, and how to “drill down” from focus area to knowledge area to specific CII tools. Includes definitions of terms for using the Knowledge Structure.

Description
Describes a unique research effort aimed at helping organizations evaluate their efforts for getting CII products into use. Key to the effort was developing the CII Knowledge Implementation Index (CKII), which assists organizations in going beyond benchmarking of projects and to more accurately assess the total effort being made to put CII Best Practices into the corporate or organizational work processes.

Description
Describes the background that led to the development of the Staircase Implementation Model and the individual components of the model. The CII Implementation Strategy Committee recommends that organizations use the new model to enhance current implementation processes by developing an implementation plan that fully addresses the challenges and opportunities afforded by a proposed new practice.
