Hey Owl! Can you actually build readiness?  Yup.

So, a quick story first.   About eight years ago, whether readiness could be changed was an open question. Intuitively, the answer was yes. After all, change efforts have been going on throughout human history.  However, many people were still thinking about organizations are "ready " or "not ready," without really digging into the things that help make an organization ready.  
​
This is one of our central premises.  Readiness isn't just one thing; it's a dynamic collection of motivational and capacity-based concepts that together contribute to how well an innovation gets put into a practice.  So, a bunch of us started on a comprehensive research synthesis to see if there was evidence that these specific subcomponents could be change.   And the answer was,  "Yup!"  
But then we sat on publishing.   And the synthesis got older and older. And older.   Between us, we've had four children and two grandchildren since we stopped writing.

So, rather than just sit much longer on a six-year old literature review, we've just put it out on SocArXiv for everyone to read, use, and critique.

Find it here, https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/84cjq, and let us know what you think and what more recent studies we should zero in on. ​

"At some point, we just have to roll up our sleeves and do something different. 

That's what readiness provides. It's the something that makes implementation a bit better."
