88 DEPLOYMENT ALTERNATIVES

■ Postmortem—Successful deployment of solid waste management and minimization
is best achieved in a series of waves focusing on strategic change areas. Between
waves there is time for evaluating effectiveness, compiling lessons learned, and
integrating improvements into the infrastructure. Some examples of improvement
opportunities are
■ Were projects aligned with the strategic focus of the organization?
■ Was communication adequate between practitioners and management?
■ Were the forecasted timelines met?
■ Did the phase achieve the desired results?

4.4 Summary

The deployment phase planning process and implementation is a critical step to solid
waste minimization. This phase lays the foundation for all other steps, provides the
needed training and establishes communication channels. Poor planning in this phase
can lead to entire program failure.
