The work is not done when you have completed initial implementation of your change idea with all targeted groups. The most successful change efforts also plan strategies to make the ideas stick. To sustain change, your PDSA team will want to make the new way of doing things a part of the agency culture, that is, the standard way we do the work. You also want to identify any challenges and barriers to sustaining the new practice(s). That is, what might cause your agency to revert to the old way of doing things? Use this handout to plan strategies for sustaining your change implementation.
The PDSA Toolkit is brought to you through partnership between the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families and the Wisconsin Child Welfare Professional Development System
