Creating the Coaching

Implementation Plan

To effectively address the complex issues within child welfare
services, it is important to develop a deliberate and thorough
coaching implementation plan.

If you don’t know where you’re going,

you might wind up someplace else.

~Yogi Berra

The coaching implementation plan can be quite detailed. Use the
following questions as a starting point for creating an
implementation plan (see Table 7.1).

Table 7.1. Creating the Implementation Plan

Steps Planning Questions

Step 1:

Identify the vision
(what the group
wants to see
happen).

 Where does the agency want to be in one year after

implementing coaching?

 What are the results or outcomes the agency hopes

to achieve?

 Is the vision statement clear: When reading your

vision statement does someone not working in your

field understand what your agency hopes to

accomplish?
