The process of putting a decision, plan, or system into effect through concrete actions.
From Latin implementum meaning 'filling up' or 'fulfillment,' from implere meaning 'to fill in.' The modern sense of 'putting into practice' developed in the mid-20th century, particularly in business and technology contexts.
Implementation is where good intentions meet harsh reality - studies show that up to 70% of strategic initiatives fail not because of poor planning, but because of poor execution. The gap between planning and doing is where most projects live or die, making implementers the unsung heroes of progress.
