Individual specification Do individuals understand what tasks the intervention requires of them? | Initiation Are they willing and able to engage others in the implementation? | Skill set workability Do those implementing the intervention have the correct skills and training for the job? | Individual appraisal How will individuals judge the effectiveness of the intervention? | |
Communal specification Do all those involved agree about the purpose of the intervention? | Activation Can stakeholders identify what tasks and activities are required to sustain the intervention? | Relational integration Do those involved in the implementation have confidence in the new way of working? | Communal appraisal How will stakeholders collectively judge the effectiveness of the intervention? | |
