Implementation Readiness Reflection

A working sequence for turning shared HOPE language into a focused, measurable, community-informed test.

Before action

  • Orient: build shared language around HOPE, local strengths, and the desired change.
  • Assess: notice readiness, culture, policy, relationships, voice, and current assets.
  • Aim: choose a specific audience and define a clear, inclusive, measurable result.

During and after action

  • Act: run the smallest useful test with visible roles and decision rights.
  • Learn: pair existing data with stories and feedback.
  • Adapt: record what changed, what traveled well, and what people want to sustain.

SMARTIE aim pattern

By a specific date, a defined group will experience a measurable improvement, with inclusion and equity built into how the aim is designed and assessed.
