We recently launched a collection of YouTube videos to supplement our coaching, consulting and learning workshops. Our aim is to connect the science of improvement with evidence-based methods to implement our strategies and tactics. These videos are intended to introduce the newcomer and remind more experienced learners of these very useful practices. We urge everyone to learn the wide variety of methods we use to make improvements. Here we are reminded that a focus on the tools themselves is a waste of time, instead we learn when it is time to use the right methods with the right tools.
We are also reminded that copying what we have seen others do without understanding it is not about learning or improvement. When we find a practice that we’d like to try ourselves, we get someone experienced in the methods to coach our first attempts, so we learn the “know how” as well as the “know why”.
