Part II: Implementation
Seven Steps to Dene Kede

Implementation is difficult because there are so many variables which can influence the success or failure of a program. In an attempt to sort out the significant variables implementation is described below in Seven Steps. The Seven Steps to Dene Kede were developed with the hope that it would be useful when beginning the process of implementation, as well as during implementation when problems seem to arise, for all parties involved. The Seven Steps describe action as well as players, in sequence.
