Do we have the knowledge to prioritise our biggest QI impact and stop/start where appropriate? Is everyone clear about the means of securing improvement towards our aim – our tools and techniques? Are we able to measure and report progress on our aim in realtime? Do we know how to deploy our resources and expertise to accelerate change when required? Do we have a plan to test and spread new learning?

Our approach will be to make sure that each group receives the knowledge and skill sets they need when they need them and in the appropriate amounts.
