Develop a plan outlining at least the following:

• What resources are required?
• Who is involved and in what capacity?
• Are new reporting structures needed?
• Does anyone outside the organization need to be onboard?
• What is the timeline (when to start work, when to implement, when to complete implementation)?
• How does the definition of success reflect virtuous decision making?
• How is success measured?
