Many people don't understand implementation and evaluation feedback (pps. 208-210) and it causes them to make mistakes in life. For example, let's say someone is trying to lose weight and they go on the Keto diet. They might report "I tried the Keto diet but I didn't lose any weight." If you dig deeper and ask what, exactly, you mean by "tried the diet," you are likely to find out that they didn't really stick to it. In other words, they didn't actually "try" it. So, they blame the lack of good evaluation (i.e., outcome) on the intervention, when in fact, their implementation was flawed.

Consider some change effort you have been involved with. Describe the actual or ideal measures of implementation and evaluation feedback. Each student's initial post must be a different example (I've just used up the "dieting" example). Remember that your real life examples don't have to be flawless examples. In this case, I'm specifically asking you to fill in what should have been done. In most cases, little or no implementation feedback is gathered.
