| The Interrelationship Diagram
is a team-based
process improvement tool. Ideas
gathered through, eg. affinity
diagrams, are grouped in a circular
pattern on a flip chart. Arrows are drawn
to show the relationships between items,
leading from Cause to Effect:
The number of arrows leading
'in' and 'out' of each item are counted
and tabulated.
Items that have a high number
of 'out' arrows are important drivers. A
high number of 'in' arrows suggests important
outcomes and candidates for measures of
success.
