This will usually take a facilitator to manage your group (whether it\u2019s internal or also involving stakeholders). After you have formed the areas of need, you then place them on the \u2018impact matrix\u2019. These four boxes consists of \u2018easy wins\u2019 (high impact and low difficulty), \u2018slogs\u2019 (high difficulty and low impact), \u2018difficult wins\u2019 (high impact, high difficulty), and easy less effective wins (low impact and low difficulty). After this difficult process is done through consensus, the group picks its top three areas it wants to focus on. An additional tool that can then be used by organizations is the \u2018fish bone\u2019. This tool helps break down all the causes of specific problems. There was a speaker that recounted her real life use of these tools. She was from the Mississippi health department and this process took her organization months to complete, but the rewards were high. Each person involved now takes pride in the focus areas and it built consensus and collaboration among her team. I genuinely feel like I can use these tools in my professional life and I really gained a skill after this session.<\/p>\n<p>For a better visual of the impact matrix and fish bone, check out these links:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/terry-freedman.org.uk\/artman\/uploads\/input_impact_matrix.gif\">http:\/\/terry-freedman.org.uk\/artman\/uploads\/input_impact_matrix.gif<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/5\/52\/Ishikawa_Fishbone_Diagram.svg\/2000px-Ishikawa_Fishbone_Diagram.svg.png\">http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/5\/52\/Ishikawa_Fishbone_Diagram.svg\/2000px-Ishikawa_Fishbone_Diagram.svg.png<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Liz Hasseld, an MCHLT Scholar, will be graduating in Summer 2015 with an MPH concentrating in Maternal and Child Health.
