The coin spinning game is a way to learn[br]one of the most essential skills in

0:00:16.180,0:00:20.256
quality improvement, the PDSA cycle,[br]plan, do, study, and act.

0:00:20.256,0:00:22.914
My colleague, Dave Williams,[br]had the idea for this game, and

0:00:22.914,0:00:25.289
we flushed out the idea and[br]started using it with teams.

0:00:25.289,0:00:30.510
It's a really fun and very quick way to[br]get some real experience with PDSA cycles.

0:00:30.510,0:00:33.581
Today, our learning objectives for[br]this exercise are two,.

0:00:33.581,0:00:37.220
1, understand rapid-cycle PDSA testing.

0:00:37.220,0:00:41.265
2, understand how theory and[br]prediction help you learning.

0:00:41.265,0:00:44.762
3, see how to collect real time data for[br]measurement.

0:00:44.762,0:00:48.293
And 4, appreciate the opportunity[br]to learn together.

0:00:48.293,0:00:52.722
The materials for this game that you'll[br]need are four coins of different sizes and

0:00:52.722,0:00:53.610
weights.

0:00:53.610,0:00:55.620
In the US we use a quarter, a dime,

0:00:55.620,0:00:58.680
a nickle and a penny,[br]use whatever works for you.

0:00:58.680,0:01:01.140
You'll also need a time piece[br]able to capture minutes and

0:01:01.140,0:01:06.025
seconds at each table, a smartphone works[br]well for a time piece for this game.

0:01:06.025,0:01:07.070
You'll also need a time keeper.

0:01:08.320,0:01:10.905
You should also have a worksheet[br]called the PDSA tracker with you.

0:01:10.905,0:01:14.501
You'll see several questions that will[br]prompt you to be thoughtful about

0:01:14.501,0:01:15.795
the ideas you wanna test.

0:01:15.795,0:01:19.235
This game works best in groups of[br]about three to five, so team up and

0:01:19.235,0:01:20.745
make sure you have the materials with you.

0:01:21.775,0:01:25.325
The object of the game is to spin[br]that coin as long as you can.

0:01:25.325,0:01:29.245
You can use and test any of[br]the four coins, any technique and

0:01:29.245,0:01:32.830
any surface,[br]however you define what a surface is.

0:01:32.830,0:01:37.050
The game is going to take roughly 25[br]minutes, 15 minutes for spinning and

0:01:37.050,0:01:39.230
10 minutes to debrief what you've learned.

0:01:39.230,0:01:42.460
You wanna run as many tests as[br]you can in these 15 minutes.

0:01:42.460,0:01:45.280
However, you wanna be[br]intentional in your testing.

0:01:45.280,0:01:49.340
That means consider what you believe[br]may support the longest coin spins.

0:01:49.340,0:01:52.810
Write your change idea down in[br]the plan section of your PDSA tracker,

0:01:52.810,0:01:55.880
along with what questions you're[br]trying to answer with this test.

0:01:55.880,0:01:58.680
Then make a prediction of[br]the time you expect to achieve.

0:01:58.680,0:02:02.600
Once the plan section is complete,[br]do the test, spin the coin.

0:02:02.600,0:02:06.060
Remember, the starting point is[br]when the coin starts spinning, and

0:02:06.060,0:02:10.990
it stops when the coin comes to a natural[br]stopping point fully on your surface.

0:02:10.990,0:02:15.800
During the test, capture observations in[br]the do section of the PDSA tracker form.

0:02:15.800,0:02:17.150
After the completion of your test,

0:02:17.150,0:02:20.430
document the time in the run chart[br]included in your tracker and test again.

0:02:21.530,0:02:24.788
You might think documentation is gonna[br]take you a long time, but trust us,

0:02:24.788,0:02:27.907
the more tests you run, the faster[br]you'll get at planning your tests.

0:02:27.907,0:02:29.930
Are you ready, let's do this.
