Get Help with QI
“If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together” – African proverb.
At ELFT we believe that it is essential for people to be supported to get the most out of their improvement work. With this in mind, we have a structure of support available within each ELFT directorate, with further help from the central QI team.
Infrastructure for improvement
