This document outlines the stages and activities for implementing innovations from a learning route. Stage 3 involves validating the innovation plan with the organization, holding an IP contest, and diffusing and evaluating the results. The validation involves presenting the lessons learned and plan to the organization for feedback. The IP contest allows voluntary participants to present adjusted proposals for funding. Diffusion involves organizing documents from the learning route and distributing them strategically online and offline. Evaluation assesses the process, products, results and outcomes through surveys and case studies to provide recommendations.
