Could that idea work here?
People and situations are different, of course, but also remarkably the same! Incorporating a new idea from anywhere will require some tailoring to your situation and your people. That tailoring work gives your people the chance to look at the change and get comfortable. Engage them fully in the analysis and the refit and they will more likely support and claim the new idea as their own.

OFTEN THERE IS A CRITICAL SKILLS OR KNOWLEDGE GAP
Ignoring it leads to ill-informed decisions and actions. Instructing staff, board or stakeholders to learn in their own is wishful thinking in most cases.
Remember also that new board and staff members need more than the organizational manual to get up to speed. Even experienced people moving into new positions will need training and coaching: new board chairs, new department heads, new supervisors, new volunteer leaders. New CEO's and ED's are in particular need of an outside coach and mentor.
CurryCorp develops coaching, background education, training and assessment programs tailored to setting and circumstance. They can be discipline-based, systems-based, real-world-problem–based or a hybrid. All programs utilize critical adult learning principles: active learners; clarity on ends to be obtained and means to get there (learner outcomes and teaching—learning processes) and frequent, embedded assessment and feedback.
