Implementation Plan  What is an implementation plan?  Identifies:  When and how a resource value checklist will be implemented  Resources allocated and resources needed to implement the FREP program  Priorities  Why is it being done?  Coordinate program implementation amongst Resource Value Team Leaders (RVTL)  Strategize resources  Perception that RSM implementation might overwhelm district resources  Districts wanted to know how FREP would unfold

Implementation Plan  How was the plan created?  Surveys  District Survey  RVTL Survey/Interview  Data analysis  Analyse and compare the data between District input and RVTL expectations  Analyse and compare the data with provincial needs, priority questions and allocation to ensure the best use of the resources
