Can you confidently say that the implementation of innovation within your organization is running optimally? Improving the implementation process requires identifying the factors that influence its success. While conducting a thorough analysis to pinpoint obstacles is a critical first step, transforming this diagnosis into a shared vision that drives meaningful interventions is far more challenging. In daily practice, cooperation often lacks the openness, honesty, and vulnerability necessary to address the root causes of suboptimization. Additionally, there is frequently a lack of knowledge and oversight to tackle these challenges effectively. Last but not least we are often blind for the systemic dynamics going on in a project.

That’s where our Implementation Radar comes into play. The Radar covers a variety of themes that address both the "hard" and "soft" dimensions of implementation, above and below the waterline of the organizational iceberg. The "hard" side focuses on tangible, measurable aspects of implementation, such as technical elements, systems, procedures, and structures. The "soft" side emphasizes the human and social factors that impact successful implementation, including employee engagement, experienced leadership, communication, change capacity, and organizational culture. It is here where systemic dynamics are playing. 

This automated tool accelerates the process, reduces costs, and enables a quick, detailed analysis of potential obstacles by mapping out the perspectives of various stakeholders. It enhances the chances of successful implementation outcomes, motivates employees who often work across departmental boundaries.

The insights generated by the Implementation Radar form the basis for a productive dialogue, enabling key individuals from different disciplines to share bottlenecks and find effective solutions. This dialogue is valuable at all stages of an implementation project.

We begin with a systemic analysis of the stakeholders involved in the implementation within your organization. Who is involved, and to what extent? These stakeholders receive a login to our online tool, allowing them to provide in-depth feedback on the implementation themes and anonymously share their perspectives. We carefully analyze this data and present our findings along with a well-considered recommendation. If desired, we facilitate the dialogues between the involved parties to achieve a common understanding and approach.

Finally, we offer support in executing interventions, ensuring that the discussed outcomes translate into actual, positive results.

The Implementation Radar is based on extensive literature research and supported by both qualitative and quantitative studies conducted as part of the Master of Innovation in Healthcare and Welfare at Hogeschool Utrecht. It has been developed with contributions from implementation experts, sector leaders, and innovation specialists with both practical and academic backgrounds to ensure that it remains relevant and practically applicable.
