Special Considerations around Early Learning
• Are they open to digital solutions?
• What else are they trying? How is it working?
• What are their second best alternatives?
• Efficacy• Use trialling to
validate research
• All digital solutions have implementation challenges, including pilots. Have these been considered?
• Has the purpose of the pilot been established?
• Is band-width sufficient? Does the roll-out build on early adopters?
• Is there sufficient training? Is there an opportunity to sell services?
