A Mid-Cycle Interview Study of Signal-Learning During the School of Continuous Improvement's Own Review Cycle
A three-wave interview study followed School of Continuous Improvement staff through its own internal practice-review cycle, coding conversations for language that mirrors the review's published rubric against self-reported change to the practice under review. Panel-legible signal language rose from 18% to 79% of transcripts between the cycle's opening and midpoint, while self-reported practice change moved only from 21% to 25% over the same interval, a gap that held regardless of interview mode.
