Understanding theimpact of regulatory requirements and the ethical considerationsfor the rollout are key factors to developing strategies for a successful launch. Each innovation will have its own considerations, such as protecting intellectual property rights, complying with federal regulations and local laws, or issues affecting the community.
This week, youll present the implementation strategy for your innovation to the executive leadership team and the project management office (PMO) so they can assign resources and put a project team together.
