Phase 2 Orientation:
Self-Assess to Stay on Target

Improvement science moves through several distinct phases. While the process is not always linear, often shifting back and forth between phases as your learning evolves and sparks new questions, identifying where you are within the work is critical to taking effective action.

Before you begin Testing Changes in Phase 3, we recommend you complete the following steps to ensure you get meaningful results. 

Are you ready to move on? 

You’re ready if you have: 

 

Z
