Special Considerations around the

Caution.

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?
