Summative Assessment: Innovation Implementation Strategy

For a manager to successfully execute a strategy for a product or process innovation, they must have a strategy for the implementation, which requires flexing their skills in information analysis. Understanding the impact of regulatory requirements and the ethical considerations for 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, you’ll 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.
