Focus toolkit

The Focus toolkit is designed for anyone to use to help you improve ways of working and embrace Continuous Improvement (CI) approaches.

The toolkit introduces a variety of approaches used by the Focus team to identify improvements, solve problems, gain feedback and other techniques. A short guide to get you started is provided, and where applicable share the associated template.

Browse the A-Z List of tools or look at a particular project stage to see what tool might help you at a particular time. Focus tools and techniques aim to support Continuous Improvement at Oxford and beyond. If you have comments, please get in touch: [email protected].
