7. Consolidate improvements and produce more change.

Use your successes and improvements (yes! this project is going to work and the guiding
coalition is behind the initiative) to further change systems, structures, etc.
• Evaluate and plan for changes/improvements for the following/year.
• Address policy changes as needed.
• Identify changes and initiatives that will be implemented.
• Do you need additional support resources (i.e. Staff, money) to further understand the
problem? If so, how will you demonstrate the cost/benefit of the staff.

8. Institutionalize new approaches.

Articulate connections between new behaviors and success of the program. Share the
successes and your results.
• For example, perhaps the school wellness committee has been stagnant or not meeting
lately and is now being revived.
• Health curriculum has been reviewed and updated. Additional focus on substance abuse
has been identified.
