While there are no clearly defined "stages" of spread, the activities involved in laying a solid foundation to support spread — the set-up for spread — should be addressed by the leadership of the organization early in the spread planning process. Although an organization and its leadership cannot successfully "mandate" spread, they can take certain actions and put specific structures in place that will "enable" the spread of the selected improvements within the organization. The set-up, as well as the other components of the Framework for Spread, create a pull system that attracts the intended adopters to first test and then embrace the improvements.
