Prioritising areas for improvementPrioritising areas for improvement
"Prioritising is a process through which we identify which of the broad areas of concerns
need tackling first. Prioritising accepts that not everything can be tackled at once.“
(Skelton, Reeves and Playfoot)
![Page 20: Sse workshop 2 spring 2014](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051612/54bd55624a795997708b45c7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Consider the following when Consider the following when prioritising areas for improvementprioritising areas for improvement
• What areas of improvement will have greatest impact
• Do we have the resources and expertise available at present to address the area for improvement (Is it feasible? )
• If we address one area for improvement will it naturally impact on another
