How to create a driver diagram

Start with a clearly defined goal

Brainstorm potential drivers - the areas where change will impact on your aim. Concentrate on generating ideas for drivers at this stage, don’t try to allocate into primary or secondary straight away.

Once you’ve completed the brainstorm then cluster the ideas to create an agreed set of ‘drivers’ - make sure you use language like “improve” or “decrease” and that each driver is clearly defined (and potentially measurable)

Now you can identify the links between the drivers – creating primary, secondary and tertiary drivers – and set these out in the diagram format.

Add actions or interventions for each driver.

Finally, decide which drivers and interventions that you want to measure and add those to the diagram.

Tips and tricks

Driver diagrams are a ‘live’ tool. They will change over time as you make changes to your system.

If you can make your drivers measurable you have created a measurement framework for determining progress towards your overall goal

Creating a driver diagram with a team ensures that everyone understands your goal and how they can contribute towards achieving it

Driver diagrams will vary from place to place - there is no definitive ‘right’ answer as your local situation may be very different from other parts of the country

Drivers Activity

What are the drivers for your project aim?

Write each driver on a separate Post-It note

Discuss how they fit together

Are some of your drivers really interventions?
