Education, health care, and social welfare face complex challenges that require innovative solutions. Organizations often implement new policies, technologies, and other innovations to address these issues, but addressing them requires more than heroic individuals with silver-bullet solutions. Teams with diverse expertise are needed to learn together and use their collective knowledge to redesign our social systems for the improved well-being of our communities. Journey to Improvement provides a road map for teams to follow a different path to better outcomes, drawing on their decades of on-the-ground experience. The book highlights the personal, relational, and technical aspects of taking an improvement science approach and illustrates these ideas through real-world examples from across the social sector and around the world.
