Benefits to Divisions

Benefits of Using the Collaborative Methodology

• The collaborative methodology uses knowledge about what already works rather than trying out new ideas through research or pilot studies.
• It uses a change management method that is designed to identify where a change actually leads to an improvement.
• Changes are tested in small cycles so they are manageable.
• Changes are measured so that the improvement can be demonstrated
