Rapid-Cycle Testing

Captions available

The idea

Improvement science tests changes in rapid cycles in the field rather than in a controlled setting, and treats innovation as part of the method.

In practice

A small change tried on one unit for a fortnight before anything is scaled.

Where people slip

Rapid-cycle testing accepts less control in exchange for relevance and speed. That trade is deliberate, and it is why QI is not a trial.
