- Invite individuals who are interested in the shared concern or have a strong desire for change to a roundtable meeting to generate ideas and start building support and engagement.
- Use consensus to develop the shared purpose of the social movement. Share this with others not engaged in the social movement to start building a broader base of support.
- Seek leaders (informal and/or formal) with capacities to engage in change.
- Take action early to build momentum once the shared concern or desired change has been determined and there is a readiness for change.
- Think strategically about the timing of the change; for example, the publication of new evidence (e.g., a new guideline) can act as a catalyst for change and prompt a push for action in response.
