The team can use Template 2.1 (Appendix A) to track the relevant skills, knowledge, assets, and roles that team members bring to the organizational change process. Using such a template allows the team to identify “holes” in its membership and think about additional partners with particular skillsets that can aid implementation. The team can also modify this template to include others at the clinic who have a role to play in organizational change but may not be full-fledged members of the team.
