The fourth course in the Improvement Fundamentals programme – Course 401 – covers the important topic of how to spread your quality improvements beyond your immediate workplace.

Taking this course will help you to:

1. describe what spread means and why it’s important
2. develop strategies to spread your successful interventions throughout your organisation and region
3. describe how to improve engagement with your stakeholders in your own improvement work
4. most importantly, complete a spread plan.

The course is made up of five 30-minute modules. Each module contains an activity at the end that you need to complete in order to complete the course overall.

You don’t have to have completed any of the previous courses to participate in Course 401 – you just need to have an idea of a project you would like to work on.

All the Improvement Fundamentals courses run on a monthly cycle throughout the year. See the QI Hikers home page for an overview.
