Driver Diagram
Clarify your theory of improvement — and how you'll get there.

ABOUT

USE CASES

The Driver Diagram helps teams visually break down a high-level goal into primary and secondary drivers—factors believed to contribute to that goal—and connect them to specific, testable change ideas. It’s a foundational tool in improvement science that makes complex systems more actionable.

  • Map out the drivers contributing to increased CTE program completion.

  • Align workgroup efforts by showing how individual strategies ladder up.

  • Use as a roadmap for testing small changes.

VALUE

  • Aligns teams around a shared improvement strategy.

  • Breaks big goals into manageable components.

  • Bridges the gap between theory and actionable steps.
