One of the most critical responsibilities in running a business, organization, school and/or governmental entity is going through the process of implementing a new program, project or service.  Helpfully in most cases there are pre-determined administrative planning guidelines and tasks to complete that will hopefully move you toward successful implementation.  But what about assembling the right people?  Who should be at the implementation table to ensure the strongest new initiative is prepped and ready?

This week’s TRIPLE III TIME message is dedicated to describing the 5-M’s of Implementation Essentials with regard to personnel necessary for GREAT new initiative start-up and operation.  The 5-M’s stand for:  Movement (Innovation)-Money (Finances)-Marketing (Customers)-Management (Staff)-Maintenance (Accountability).  I believe it is vital to have strong leaders from within your group that specialized in each of these areas to help design and facilitate the best implementation plan possible!

During my career I was very lucky to have representatives from the 5-M’s of Implementation Essentials involved and committed to “across the board” effectiveness, efficiency, unity and performance everyday…EVERYDAY.  Did we always agree on everything…NO!  But the ever present drive to find and deliver a product that was better than anything currently available…was always a solid motivator.

Bottomline:  When it is time to build the right implementation plan and process for ANY new endeavor, be sure to gather dedicated personnel from the areas of Movement (Innovation)-Money (Finances)-Marketing (Customers)-Management (Staff)-Maintenance (Accountability)…and I know you will be very pleased with the future you build together.
