The contextual factors that influence implementation
Implementation is influenced by the contexts in which change happens. The following contextual factors can either enable or constrain implementation:
- What is being implemented – the features of the approach that influence its implementation
- Systems and structures – the available infrastructure e.g. time, roles, data systems
- People who enable change – the available people who can support and lead implementation
