Implementation Monitoring: A Role for Evaluators in Helping New Programs Succeed

Abstract

The implementation of innovations is a neglected but important topic. Many innovations have been judged ineffective when the real problem is poor implementation. This paper defines a framework for monitoring implementation. The framework requires a team of monitors who examine the adequacy of implementation plans and look at the effect of their execution on the organization, the individual, and the new program. Immediate feedback is provided to adjust the implementation effort. The framework defines questions to ask, shows why these questions are important, and how they can be used to increase implementation.
