About Me
- Dreana Marshall-Stuart
- Barbados
- I joined the SJPP as a part-time instructor about five years ago and I have been teaching face-to-face in subject areas such as in Human Resource Management, Business Law, Work Ethics, Text Production and Computer Awareness. Prior to this, I taught Business and Computer Studies at secondary school to CXC level. I currently hold a BSc in Social Sciences (Hons) with minors in Management, Sociology and Psychology form UWI. I am also Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) and hold a Administrative Secretary Diploma (APS) from the UWI. I started my Masters in Educational Psychology and Educational Administration at the UWI but I am in the process of switching to pursue an online Masters in Instructional Design. I have found a new love in teaching and writing online courses. I have so far qualified myself to be a certified online instructor and course writer.

Innovation & Change
ReplyDeleteThe only way to know if an innovation is an improvement is to measure its impact. Done correctly, measurement will let you monitor the implementation process, early results, and ultimate outcomes of the innovation. Remember the adage, "What gets measured gets done."
Many innovations fail despite careful planning. The innovation doesn't catch on or meets with resistance, people implementing the innovation stumble for lack of experience, or the amount of time it takes for successful implementation is underestimated.
Decision-makers can anticipate these pitfalls, learn from past innovation experiences, and determine whether they have the ingredients for successful adoption.
No one should want to adopt an innovation that cannot be implemented successfully or cannot be sustained. It pays to think ahead in terms of how you will manage the change process and how you will sustain the innovation once it is implemented.
