Building a Big Room
Big Rooms are the foundation of the FCA methodology. It is a weekly coached meeting where people come together to build relationships, collaborate and develop a shared purpose for improvement.
- Big Rooms are made up of a wide range of people who work within or are connected to a pathway.
- Through the Big Rooms FCA trained coaches enable teams to create a culture of continuous improvement.
- Big Rooms enable participants to create a flattened hierarchy where everyone’s opinions and perspective are valuable.
- Ultimately, the Big Room process allows front-line staff to take ownership of the improvement work.
Big Room meetings should be regular and short.
We recommend 1 hour, every week at the same time in the same place.
This helps to build habits of working together to gain momentum.
Make the most of your time using effective meeting skills.
Big Room teams use a range of data to build an understanding of the pathway using the 5Vs framework.
The FCA Roadmap then provides a structure for the way forward. View the Roadmap.
