Collaborate Planning : Do we have the right people involved in the selection and implementation process? 7. Scale & Sustainability: If we start with a small group, how will we scale up? If we invest in tools and process, can we sustain the effort? 8. Build in on-going Monitoring /course corrections : Who does What by When, and monitor to make changes as needed.
