Abstract

Continuous improvement is the essential component of long-term success; however, opportunities for improvement are not always successfully implemented. IS-31 addressed the gap between development of a vision for organizational improvement and the successful implementation of that vision.

This research effort – based on literature reviews, surveys, interviews, and case studies – identified elements of organization, leadership, and communication that impact an organization’s ability to successfully implement new initiatives. The results of this research provide knowledge and tools which comprise a formal process for evaluating organizational readiness for implementation of a new initiative and transitioning from vision to successful implementation.

Key Findings
The IMPACT Assessment Tool was designed to give organizations three essential review elements for generating and implementing ideas (IS31-1, p. 27):
  1. Quantitative assessment of organizational readiness for implementation
  2. Qualitative indicator of potential weaknesses for implementation
  3. Recommendations for improving probability of implementation success
