4. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Aim Correct changes Clear change method Measurement
The six questions to be asked of EVERY change programme… 1
Aim
Is there an agreed aim that is understood by everyone in the system? 2
Correct changes
Are we using our full knowledge to identify the right changes & prioritising those that are likely to have the biggest impact on our aim? 3
Clear change method
Does everyone know and understand the method(s) we will use to improve? 4
Measurement
Can we measure and report progress on our improvement aim? 5
Capacity and capability
Are people and other resources deployed and being developed in the best way to enable improvement? 6
Spread plan
Have we set out our plans for innovating, testing, implementing and sharing new learning to spread the improvement everywhere?
