Improvement Science in Practice: Finding Solutions Through Iterative Testing℠ is an intermediate-level course for individuals and teams seeking to strengthen their ability to learn through disciplined, rigorous inquiry cycles. This course is fee-based.

Disciplined inquiry is the engine that drives learning in improvement science. In this intermediate-level course, participants gain conceptual and practical understanding of the plan-do-study-act (PDSA) process by prototyping a change, testing that change, and then iterating it based on learning from those tests.

Building on the conceptual foundations that are developed in Carnegie’s Introduction to Networked Improvement Basics℠, Improvement Science in Practice focuses on building participants’ skills and experience with running PDSA cycles to test and iterate changes designed to improve specific outcomes.
