How it's used
Focuses on the active, top-down process of putting policies or systems into effect. It carries a formal tone often associated with corporate, government, or organizational settings rather than casual personal tasks. When discussing smaller or more informal actions, speakers typically prefer using 搞 or 實行.
Examples
The company is currently implementing a new system.
Do you think there are any difficulties in implementing this plan?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for simple personal tasks or chores. It implies a structured, systematic approach, so using it for something like cleaning your room sounds unnatural and overly bureaucratic.
