Continuous quality improvement is demonstrated within our field's importance on conducting research to find answers and then implementing the strategies associated with those answers. Behavior Analysts are obligated to modify their practices as new strategies are identified that will be most beneficial for their patient's outcomes. However, the implementation of new strategies requires change – and change is hard. To continue improving and bettering the treatment provision for our patients, and the clinical systems for our staff, we must strive to lead meaningful change by communicating and planning in a way that increases the reinforcing value of change among our colleagues. Successful change can be fostered through the creation of values, the development of a vision, the creation of a plan, and by evaluating the application of that plan. When these steps are put into place, the aversiveness of change lessens (fear is reduced and discomfort decreases).
