The Future of Evaluation in Organization Development
Published in Maureen Connelly Jones, William J. Rothwell, Evaluating Organization Development, 2017
Technology offers many opportunities to collect information, feed it back to stakeholders, reach agreement on desired changes, and monitor implementation. In the future, OD evaluations will rely more heavily on technology-enabled approaches. As just one example, many organizations today use dashboards to track progress against change objectives. A dashboard is a visual representation of how well an organization, group/team, or an individual is achieving its goals. Many software programs exist on the market to establish and maintain dashboards, which make it easy to display evaluative progress in achieving predefined goals (see, for instance, http://www.softwareadvice.com/bi/dashboard-comparison/). Other websites provide examples of how to set up and use dashboards (see, for instance, http://dashboardspy.com/).
Conclusion
Published in Aimee Van Wynsberghe, Healthcare Robots, 2016
Implementation is the carrying out, execution, or practice of a plan, a method, or any design for doing something. As such, implementation is the action that must follow any preliminary thinking in order for something to actually happen. In an information technology context, implementation encompasses all the processes involved in getting new software or hardware operating properly in its environment, including installation, running, testing, and making necessary changes. Implementation in a healthcare institution also refers to the policies and guidelines structured according to a technology; how it ought to be used and what constitutes misuse. More often than not, implementation sciences in a healthcare context refers to the incorporation of evidence-based medicine into medical practice. In short, the idea behind the implementation of the care robot is that it is introduced into its context of use in a manner that ensures it is used as it was intended to be.

The five steps in constructing the governance process can be aided by planning and analyses in coordination with the more comprehensive ESE/ A process (described in Section 5.8) and must also be performed in close coordination with agency managers. They must also adhere to enterprise- specific management and regulatory policies. The mechanisms for coordination, cooperation, and collaboration developed in the planning phase should be sustained through future implementation efforts.
Project management as an anti-planning measure for the effective preparation and implementation of the urban development plans in the Global South
Published in Cogent Engineering, 2023
Plan preparation and implementation of plans for urban development are complex problems. They incur time, cost and other resources. Often the plan preparation and implementation face severe challenges resulting to delay, cost overruns and uncertainty. Specifically, such problems occur in the countries in the Global South. Therefore, it is hypothesized in this article that project management as an anti-planning measure if incorporated to the planning and implementation processes, efficiency in both planning and implementation of plans can be attained. This study established that project management can become an anti-planning measure and it would enable the preparation of plans and implementation efficiently through keeping a journal of the occurrences regularly which would allow diagnosis of the challenges and to take appropriate remedial interventions. Most importantly, it can assist to control the schedule, cost, and resources and eliminate uncertainty in the preparation of urban development plans and their implementation.
Using digital stories to reduce misconceptions and mistakes about fractions: an action study

In the research, the activities related to the digital stories have been presented as videos. The duration of the implementation is 5 weeks. In the implementation, digital stories have been shown to the student at first. Later, the activities have been distributed to the students and students were expected to perform these implementations. In order to carry out the research appropriately, the students were informed by the researchers about the concept digital story and about the implementations before the implementation. It was also taken into consideration that the students should be willing to participate in the research and the teacher accompanied the researcher during the course so that students could be comfortable. The research process has been presented in Figure 2.
Integrated people-and-goods transportation systems: from a literature review to a general framework for future research
Published in Transport Reviews, 2023

Rapid developments of new technologies, e.g. 5G technology, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of things (IoT), autonomous vehicles (AVs), digital twins, etc., will revolutionise the transportation industry, which brings opportunities for the development of integrated transportation system. First, the potential deployment of AVs, drones, and robots and their impacts on integrated transportation systems should be studied before they are widely applied. Second, technologies such as ICT and intelligent transportation systems enable the synchromodality, which aims to provide efficient, reliable, and flexible transportation services using real-time information. This strengthens the need for fast online algorithms to support real-time re-optimisation. Third, driven by AI, IoT, etc., digital twins could be used to simulate different activities in the integrated transportation system, which enables planners to manage transportation dynamically, react to unexpected events appropriately, etc. Moreover, digital twins could be used to analyse the potential impacts of new concepts before real implementations. As Arvidsson and Browne (2013) recommended, it is better to try a new concept in a small-scale fashion and gradually scale up, especially for big projects requiring high investment or new infrastructure. This could be achieved by digital twins in a time and cost-efficient way to explore the economic viability and scalability to meet the exploding delivery demand and the need for infrastructure and equipment investment for the integrated transportation system before real application. We recommend that researchers apply more advanced methods, e.g. digital twins, in the era of technologies to assess the feasibility of an integrated system, in addition to using traditional methods such as simulation.
