Rapid Recall Key 071–103
- The chapter uses the formula to express relationships among change ingredients; it does not establish numerical scoring/calculation.
- Fear/excessive pressure can make people defend status quo, raising R rather than useful D.
- Innovators 2.5%; Early Adopters 13.5%; Early Majority 34%; Late Majority 34%; Laggards 16%.

- Decision = adopt/reject choice; Implementation = put innovation into use.
- Implementation = use; Confirmation = seek reinforcement and continue/reconsider based on experience.
- Relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, observability.
- Relative advantage = better than current; compatibility = fits values, needs and working context.
- Complexity = difficulty/ease; trialability = ability to experiment before full commitment.
- Trialability = can try; observability = can see results/benefits.
- It permits experimentation and can prove advantage, fit and simplicity.
- Visible success spreads evidence/social proof; visible failure can spread negative feedback.
- Renewed urgency/dissatisfaction; broad vision; coalition beyond immediate project; relative advantage/observability.

- Peers/leaders influence perceptions; supporters can propagate messages through their networks.
- Message; Goal/Objective; Audience; Style; Channel/Method/Medium; Timing; Frequency; Materials; Communicators; Expected Response; Metrics; Budget/Resource Plan.
- Message = what to convey; Goal/Objective = desired outcome/reason.
- Audience receives; Communicator delivers and affects credibility/response.
- Channel = medium; Timing = when; Frequency = how often.
- Expected Response anticipates questions/reactions; Metrics assess actual understanding, willingness, ability and outcomes.
