Abstract
In all honesty I had not read Implementing Organizational Innovations, co-authored with Neal Gross and Marilyn Bernstein, from cover to cover since my review of the page proofs for its publication in 1971. With a touch of pride, my reaction after completely rereading it was that we had reached quite a few conclusions in the book that were important to the field of planned educational change. My reaction, to be sure, made the writing of this chapter much easier than otherwise would have been possible, especially since it also seemed clear to me that these conclusions remain relevant today.
