In this paper the author is continuing his writing about practicalities related to the implementation of a new educational model at an institution, sub-institution, school, department, etc. based on a project approach. The paper is a part of an overall strategy of writing papers in a series which is called “Pieces of the puzzle”- strategy. In this particular paper, the focus is on how an institution or sub-institution can make an implementation of a new educational model based on a project approach. The author gives an example of a possible flow in the process of change divided into three phases and a final state. To further support the implementation, the paper further addresses a possible action plan related to the development of staff in their preparation to start a new educational approach. The basis for the paper is the author’s considerable experience as a facilitator of change at universities in many countries; and the empirical data gathered through this work is summed up in this paper
