00:00:11.971 --> 00:00:16.180
The coin spinning game is a way to learn
one of the most essential skills in

00:00:16.180 --> 00:00:20.256
quality improvement, the PDSA cycle,
plan, do, study, and act.

00:00:20.256 --> 00:00:22.914
My colleague, Dave Williams,
had the idea for this game, and

00:00:22.914 --> 00:00:25.289
we flushed out the idea and
started using it with teams.

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.

00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:33.581
Today, our learning objectives for
this exercise are two,.

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

00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:41.265
2, understand how theory and
prediction help you learning.

00:00:41.265 --> 00:00:44.762
3, see how to collect real time data for
measurement.

00:00:44.762 --> 00:00:48.293
And 4, appreciate the opportunity
to learn together.

00:00:48.293 --> 00:00:52.722
The materials for this game that you'll
need are four coins of different sizes and

00:00:52.722 --> 00:00:53.610
weights.

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

00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:58.680
a nickle and a penny,
use whatever works for you.

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:01.140
You'll also need a time piece
able to capture minutes and

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:06.025
seconds at each table, a smartphone works
well for a time piece for this game.

00:01:06.025 --> 00:01:07.070
You'll also need a time keeper.

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:10.905
You should also have a worksheet
called the PDSA tracker with you.

00:01:10.905 --> 00:01:14.501
You'll see several questions that will
prompt you to be thoughtful about

00:01:14.501 --> 00:01:15.795
the ideas you wanna test.

00:01:15.795 --> 00:01:19.235
This game works best in groups of
about three to five, so team up and

00:01:19.235 --> 00:01:20.745
make sure you have the materials with you.

00:01:21.775 --> 00:01:25.325
The object of the game is to spin
that coin as long as you can.

00:01:25.325 --> 00:01:29.245
You can use and test any of
the four coins, any technique and

00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:32.830
any surface,
however you define what a surface is.

00:01:32.830 --> 00:01:37.050
The game is going to take roughly 25
minutes, 15 minutes for spinning and

00:01:37.050 --> 00:01:39.230
10 minutes to debrief what you've learned.

00:01:39.230 --> 00:01:42.460
You wanna run as many tests as
you can in these 15 minutes.

00:01:42.460 --> 00:01:45.280
However, you wanna be
intentional in your testing.

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.340
That means consider what you believe
may support the longest coin spins.

00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:52.810
Write your change idea down in
the plan section of your PDSA tracker,

00:01:52.810 --> 00:01:55.880
along with what questions you're
trying to answer with this test.

00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:58.680
Then make a prediction of
the time you expect to achieve.

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.600
Once the plan section is complete,
do the test, spin the coin.

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:06.060
Remember, the starting point is
when the coin starts spinning, and

00:02:06.060 --> 00:02:10.990
it stops when the coin comes to a natural
stopping point fully on your surface.

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:15.800
During the test, capture observations in
the do section of the PDSA tracker form.

00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.150
After the completion of your test,

00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:20.430
document the time in the run chart
included in your tracker and test again.

00:02:21.530 --> 00:02:24.788
You might think documentation is gonna
take you a long time, but trust us,

00:02:24.788 --> 00:02:27.907
the more tests you run, the faster
you'll get at planning your tests.

00:02:27.907 --> 00:02:29.930
Are you ready, let's do this.

00:02:29.930 --> 00:02:39.930
