Monday’s Winter Workshop brought school and district leaders together to explore PDSA cycles, strategy selection, and improvement measures.

Participants said the session helped fine tune goals and apply Improvement Science locally.

The Chief Quality Officer: Evolution of Leading Quality - David M. Williams PhD Twenty years ago, the title “Chief Quality Officer” barely existed in healthcare. Today, many health systems have one. But having a CQORead More

Most CQOs are first or second-generation in the role.

First built the elements: training, metrics, safety programs.

Second face integration: connecting elements into coherent systems.

The role evolved from builder to architect.

Governed Innovation: Turning Learning Loops into Enterprise Strategy Governance, done well, accelerates innovation. That sounds counterintuitive because “governance” often conjures gatekeeping and delay. But in complex systems, enabling constraints—clear aims, decision rights, evidence standards, and risk guardrails—reduce thrash. They let teams move faster with less politics, less ambiguity, and fewer expensive reworks. Put simply: Governed innovation = purposeful exploration + disciplined decisions + explicit guardrails. Purposeful exploration means we start from outcomes the organization actually cares about (growth, safety, quality, equity, cost-to-serve) and frame hypotheses against those aims.

I’ve written a lot about #ImprovementScience as the engine of practical change. This post moves up a level: how organizations—of any type, not just public institutions—build the chassis around that engine so learning turns into durable, mission‑aligned #Innovation. This #GovernedInnovation makes it…

Quality as an Organization Strategy with Dave Williams Quickly and easily listen to Connecting the Dots for free!

It was a pleasure to join Skip Steward with Drs. Mason & Lancaster on Baptist Memorial's podcast Connecting the Dots to talk about our new book Quality as an Organizational Strategy. It's one of my favorite healthcare improvement podcasts. #improvementscience player.captivate.fm/episode/5b75...

Today was full day. Started w/ improvers in Ethiopia using planned experiments in QI, then great talk w/ pediatricians scaling QI projects based on their degree of belief in the changes, then heard from project leads planning for implementation & laying out business case for QI. #improvementscience

Improvement Science Handbook Empowering NYC educators to make progress on critical issues that stand in the way of student success.

Here's a pretty useful #improvementscience tool I learned about in a grant group I'm a part of: nycdoeishandbook.org
This process has seriously transformed the way we approach initiatives and any attempted change at our school. #aplitchat

We (a group of teachers at my school) have been using #ImprovementScience to dig into the problems and so far, we've been able to eliminate most cell phone use in the classroom and we're now working on student focus. #aplitchat

What’s your definition of improvement? #improvementscience davidmwilliamsphd.com/2023/01/02/o...

Every. Time.

A group of our teachers have been meeting regularly to work on this problem.

I believe we’re making some headway using #ImprovementScience, but I would love to connect with anyone else doing concerted work on this. #edusky

This was fun. If you are interested in learning more about Quality as an Organizational Strategy or would like to hear from a leader in a paramedic service who applied the methods, this is a great discussion. Thanks @ukrobl.bsky.social #EMS #improvementscience #quality
