Develop Prototype Teams
Peter Gloor, PhD. MIT Center for Collective Intelligence
4. Start (Improvement Skills Help) Start Small Across One Boundary—Hospital to Home; Clinic to
Social Services With people who already work together
Try over and over to get it right (reliable) When it is working, expand to other populations
and boundaries in your system: 2 places to 8 places to 32 places…..
Build in the structures to make it a win all the way around

You are only really going to be partners if you work out the kinks together!!!!
