Key questions at different phases of the transfer process

Key questions at the implementation phase:

What are the preconditions for starting the transfer of innovation of work-based learning (implementation phase)?	How do you illustrate the whole process? How do you make a more detailed description of the first step of the transfer of innovation process?
Who are the key participants in the transfer of innovation process?	Do you need change agents? How do you involve representatives of working life in the transfer of innovation process?
What is the target group of the transfer of innovation process?	Is the innovation targeted to the whole organization? Do you prefer to use pilots? What is the right time for the target group?
What are the principles and constructions for the transfer of innovation?	How do you use continuous feedback? How do you establish forums for promotion of the transfer of innovations? What kinds of changes are needed in the operating environment and structures?
How will the transfer of innovation be carried out?	How do you document the process? How do change agents promote the process? What are the checkpoints? How do you assure sufficiency of resources? What kind of support activities can be used? (mentoring, peer review, counseling and tutoring)
How will the implementation phase be evaluated?	Does it make sense to continue the process or is the existing practice better?
How do you improve the implementation phase?	What is the feedback from customers and participants? Does the process have any side effects? How effective was the transfer of innovation process?

Key questions at the evaluation phase:

What evaluation criteria will be used?	What are the aims and targets of the evaluation?
What are the key indicators used in the evaluation?	Which factors influence the success of the transfer process?
What methods will be used in the evaluation and assessment of the success and impacts of the WBL transfer process?	How is the evaluation carried out? Who takes part in the evaluation? Which methods will be used? – SWOT analysis – Self-assessment – Peer review – External evaluation.
What are the subjects of the evaluation and assessment?	What has been changed? How has the innovation been changed during the transfer process? What do the final beneficiaries think?
What are the evaluation results?	Does the innovation fit the purpose? What is the added value of the innovation? What has been learnt about the transfer process? How do you integrate evaluation of the transfer process with the continuous evaluation system?

Key questions at the review phase:

What is the input for the procedure of change?	Is the transfer process suitable and effective? Has the innovation been changed during the transfer process? If yes, how? Has our existing practice been improved during the process? Do we refuse the new innovation and decide to improve the practice already in use within the organization?
How do you improve the transfer process?	How could we change the timetable for the transfer process? How can all relevant stakeholders take part in the process?
How do you improve the operating system?	Is there scope for improvement of the preconditions of the TOI process?
What are the improvement activities?	How can we disseminate the innovation in the best possible way? How can the new innovation become a part of everyday life?
