Initial Project Time Line and Plan
The following time line and project plan for shifting from a primarily Behaviorist approach to employee learning to include Social Constructivist approaches. The time line covers two fiscal years (FY) and includes the following stages that are aligned to the Diffusion of Innovations (DoI) adoption process:
- Planning and preparation (Knowledge stage from DoI)
- Communication and alignment (Persuasion and Decision stages from DoI)
- Implementation (Implementation stage from DoI)
- Evaluation and Refinement
- Ongoing Application and Support (Confirmation stage from DoI)
Fiscal Years:
- FY10 – August 2009 to July 2010 (Pilot within one business unit)
- FY11 – August 2010 to July 2011 (Roll to entire corporation)
Detailed Time Line and Plan for FY10:
Note: The time line and plan for FY11 would be similar to the one above with a new set of stakeholders and focused across the corporation, rather than as a pilot in one business unit.
