8.12 Implementation and Execution

of the Solid Waste Minimization Plan

A well-developed deployment plan based on viable options will yield poor results if
the plan is not executed properly. There is no such thing as overcommunication when
it comes to rolling out a new project or program. The three key components of a suc-
cessful implementation and execution are following the deployment plan, communi-
cation, and recognizing the need to adjust in certain circumstances.
To facilitate the communication process, at a minimum, weekly progress meetings
should be held with all key stakeholders. These meetings should focus on the status of
each project versus the timeline and established goals. An agenda and the project time-
line should be prepared in advanced and serve to lead the discussion. The task leader
(as determined in the deployment plan) should take the lead role in discussing the sta-
tus of each project or program. Any obstacles or delays should be discussed so that the
team may determine solutions.
During the deployment process it is critical not to overwhelm employees with
process changes. Effort should be taken to ensure that all employees are aware of
upcoming changes, timelines, and the reasons behind the change. This can be accom-
plished with service talks, postings, or newsletters in paychecks. All three options may
