Implementation Approach: Five Key Areas Critical to Success
Implementation Team • Are the right resources identified?
• Is their time properly allocated?
Configuration • What technical & business process
changes are required?
Deployment • How will the capabilities be rolled out?
Training & Change Mgmt. • What is the training & communication
plan?
Leadership Support • Is the project actively and visibly
supported by senior leaders?
15. 15
Factors Impacting Investigational Sites
Timing • Develop plan for awareness and onboarding
• Engage the sites as early as possible and begin WIIFM discussions
Training
• Be brief and concise
• Consider providing Quick Reference Card as a supplement
• Site-facing sponsor roles should familiarize themselves with site processes
Access • Determine which site staff roles will need system access
• Develop plan for how site users will be provisioned
16. 16
Factors Impacting Investigational Sites
Roles
• Who from the sites will have an action in the study start-up process?
• Who from the Sponsor will be the site’s primary contact throughout the
process?
Engagement
• Understand and communicate the value of site adoption
• Consider why sites might not adopt and factor into change management plans
• Will there be any sponsor check-in points to gather feedback?
Support • Develop support plan for site staff
• Proactively seek leadership team alignment on messaging and approach
