Posters assist the improvement team in the visualisation and understanding of programmes, strands and activities within the improvement process.
Contents
Introduction
The improvement process, informed by the posters, may be summarised as:
- Fill in the Improvement Canvas with known information
- Identify possible knowledge gaps and outputs to be created
- Select the activities or questions to be addressed
- Prepare the activities and associated tools for use
- Plan the improvement programme and iterate as appropriate
This process may be summarised as a fundamentally linear, yet iterative process, designed to deliver improvement. It may comprise, interchangeably, elements from both the question and activity driven processes. The posters have been chosen to compliment the worksheets and cards included in this toolkit. The posters may be displayed and annotated in electronic form or may be printed at a range of scales, from A3 for desk work through to A1 for class use.
For each poster, you can click on the image to download a PDF of that poster, or click on the link underneath to download a PDF of all posters.
