Google Slides instructions

What is this tool?

The Influence Model is framework to help you think about how plans and recommendations can move from strategy to implementation. The tool consists of four levers which should be considered when attempting to shift mindsets and behaviours.

When to use this tool?One of the biggest challenges of improvement projects is turning plans into action. In almost all instances a project’s success is dependent on multiple people altering their behaviour/ mindset, supporting people to think or act in the new way is therefore crucial to achieving the desired change. The influence model should be used when conducting any improvement project that involves people amending their behaviour in some way.
