                       the pillar champions, who provide the direction in terms of developing
                       and then deploying the policy (for example OAE, as shown in Figure
                       10.5)
                       the bottom-up TPA team improvement activities, which are concerned
                       with this week/this month
                   Figure 10.6 shows a typical timing plan for the first twenty weeks of  a
                 launch programme, including the activity sessions for the initial pilot. Further
                 details are included in Table 10.4.
                   Activity sessions usually take place once a fortnight, maximum eight hours,
                 minimum four hours per session. They are held 'on the job' and comprise a
                 multi discipline core team, plus their facilitator and key contacts as invited.

                 Pilot
                 Following the scoping study, a pilot is used to:
                       gain experience of  using TPA techniques and principles;
                       identify road blocks to progress;
                   W   develop a model to convince others;
                       confirm the potential  of  TPA  to  reduce wasted  effort and  improve
                       customer service;
                       establish a realistic and  achievable roll-out plan  for the  rest of  the
                       administration functions.

                 Milestone  I  Introduction  (Everyone involved)
