2
00:00:11,971 --> 00:00:16,180
The coin spinning game is a way to learn
one of the most essential skills in

3
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:20,256
quality improvement, the PDSA cycle,
plan, do, study, and act.

4
00:00:20,256 --> 00:00:22,914
My colleague, Dave Williams,
had the idea for this game, and

5
00:00:22,914 --> 00:00:25,289
we flushed out the idea and
started using it with teams.

6
00:00:25,289 --> 00:00:30,510
It's a really fun and very quick way to
get some real experience with PDSA cycles.

7
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:33,581
Today, our learning objectives for
this exercise are two,.

8
00:00:33,581 --> 00:00:37,220
1, understand rapid-cycle PDSA testing.

9
00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:41,265
2, understand how theory and
prediction help you learning.

10
00:00:41,265 --> 00:00:44,762
3, see how to collect real time data for
measurement.

11
00:00:44,762 --> 00:00:48,293
And 4, appreciate the opportunity
to learn together.

12
00:00:48,293 --> 00:00:52,722
The materials for this game that you'll
need are four coins of different sizes and

13
00:00:52,722 --> 00:00:53,610
weights.

14
00:00:53,610 --> 00:00:55,620
In the US we use a quarter, a dime,

15
00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:58,680
a nickle and a penny,
use whatever works for you.

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,140
You'll also need a time piece
able to capture minutes and

17
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:06,025
seconds at each table, a smartphone works
well for a time piece for this game.

18
00:01:06,025 --> 00:01:07,070
You'll also need a time keeper.

19
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:10,905
You should also have a worksheet
called the PDSA tracker with you.

20
00:01:10,905 --> 00:01:14,501
You'll see several questions that will
prompt you to be thoughtful about

21
00:01:14,501 --> 00:01:15,795
the ideas you wanna test.

22
00:01:15,795 --> 00:01:19,235
This game works best in groups of
about three to five, so team up and

23
00:01:19,235 --> 00:01:20,745
make sure you have the materials with you.

24
00:01:21,775 --> 00:01:25,325
The object of the game is to spin
that coin as long as you can.

25
00:01:25,325 --> 00:01:29,245
You can use and test any of
the four coins, any technique and

26
00:01:29,245 --> 00:01:32,830
any surface,
however you define what a surface is.

27
00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:37,050
The game is going to take roughly 25
minutes, 15 minutes for spinning and

28
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:39,230
10 minutes to debrief what you've learned.

29
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:42,460
You wanna run as many tests as
you can in these 15 minutes.

30
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:45,280
However, you wanna be
intentional in your testing.

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,340
That means consider what you believe
may support the longest coin spins.

32
00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:52,810
Write your change idea down in
the plan section of your PDSA tracker,

33
00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:55,880
along with what questions you're
trying to answer with this test.

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Then make a prediction of
the time you expect to achieve.

35
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,600
Once the plan section is complete,
do the test, spin the coin.

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,060
Remember, the starting point is
when the coin starts spinning, and

37
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:10,990
it stops when the coin comes to a natural
stopping point fully on your surface.

38
00:02:10,990 --> 00:02:15,800
During the test, capture observations in
the do section of the PDSA tracker form.

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,150
After the completion of your test,

40
00:02:17,150 --> 00:02:20,430
document the time in the run chart
included in your tracker and test again.

41
00:02:21,530 --> 00:02:24,788
You might think documentation is gonna
take you a long time, but trust us,

42
00:02:24,788 --> 00:02:27,907
the more tests you run, the faster
you'll get at planning your tests.

43
00:02:27,907 --> 00:02:29,930
Are you ready, let's do this.

44
00:02:29,930 --> 00:02:39,930
