DRIVER DIAGRAM
A simple visual display that outlines and logically connects:
An improvement aim that quantifies what better will look like, for who and by when
A small number of Primary drivers that focus on the key components of the system/main areas of influence that need to change to achieve the aim. These are often associated with process, infrastructure, norms (culture) and people
Secondary drivers that break primary drivers down in to natural subsections or processes. They provide more detail on where interventions to positively influence the primary drivers are required
Change ideas – These are the specific ideas that teams can test to see if they influence the secondary drivers and ultimately the aim
