Implementation
What happens during
Implementation?
Implementation is putting your plan into action and making your vision a reality. This includes tasks like:
-
prioritizing projects,
-
finding funding, and
-
starting and managing projects.
After many years of preparing and discussing, this is meant to be a time of action, building, and seeing results. Seeing years of hard work and planning come to fruition to create positive change can build momentum in your community.
