Implementation checklist (Isaksen et al., 1994)
1. RELATIVE ADVANTAGE
- a. Does your plan demonstrably improve on what’s currently done?
- b. What advantages/benefits might there be to accepting it?
- c. Who may gain from it?

2. COMPATIBILITY
- a. Does it show consistency with current practice/thinking?
- b. Can it be shown to meet a particular group’s needs?
