Implementation
Implementation is the process of translating an idea, plan or decision into specific actions in a real environment.
Definition
Implementation requires not only motivation, but also a procedure: a clear first step, conditions for action, a measure of progress, resources, time and a way of reacting to obstacles. In practice, this is the moment when a good idea meets the friction of everyday life.
Key ideas
- Action plan
- Conditions of execution
- Correction after data
Practice and life
Write down the plan in a formula: when, where, what exactly I will do and how I will know when the step has been completed.
Common misconceptions
It is a mistake to consider planning as implementation. It is also a mistake to start with too large a step, which requires ideal conditions.
