Implementation is taking the personal responsibility to be the first to make a shift. The choice of being open to change is a personal choice.
A shift is a change that represents real movement, a turnaround that is visible and tangible to all parties involved. Shifts that are made as a group are the backbone of the implementation approach. Looking for these shifts is what dictates the course and the colour of the initiative and the underlying development. For example:
solving problems yourself -> discussing problems in the group
I hold back when things get dicey -> I take my own responsibility
fighting out differences of opinion -> discussing differences of opinion
Often, we are well aware of what can be done differently and better. But everyone is also a part of a situation and an ongoing process. No one is a true outsider; everyone is also an insider.
Any implementation, large or small, starts with the question of what the individual's role in the entire process is. What does this implementation require of me? Do I want to make the investment and participate? Am I willing to take a critical look at my own contribution? These are the personal shifts.
