In a recent entry on Mathemagenic Lilia Efimova shares Diane Dormant's provisions for the individual readiness differences re some innovation. ( I've revised her summary below-- with adoption/ involvement level increasing from bottom to top of the table.)

 If the person is in the stage of ---

 Then the strategy to use is to---

 IV. Use

Active regarding change

Uses change on the job

Asks detailed questions about use

Support

Provide necessary technical info

Provide Reinforcement

Provide Recognition

 III. Tryout

Interested in learning how-to

Train

Promise technical follow-up

 II. Envisioning

Asks questions about how change works

Demonstrate

 I. Curiosity

More active regarding change

 0 . Awareness

Some time ago Gene Hall (now a Dean of Education at the University of Nevada) developed the Concerns Based Adoption Model" (CBAM)

The slightly different angle on the acceptance of innovation will, I hope :), make actual attempts to support different stages more accurate. (Lemme know what you think)
