Some thoughts about….
trends in PPI
mixed motivations for doing it
people now struggling with ‘how’ not ‘why’
toolkits galore….but analysis paralysis
what CHI has found
pockets of notable practice….but little sharing
few links between operational and strategic capacity
better at some things than others
performance management of PPI
let’s talk the same language
….look at the same sorts of things
….and be clear about who does what
