Permission to Use Figures from the Improvement Guide
Associates in Process Improvement (API) encourages readers of the Improvement Guide to reference our
materials and use them in presentations. The encouragement is done in the spirit of a tenet from the API
Purpose Statement:
As leaders in the integration of theories and development of methods, we disseminate the outcomes of
our research and development initiatives not only with our clients but also with other interested
communities.
While we are eager to share our learning we do appreciate it when our ideas are properly attributed and
permission has been obtained. In some cases, our publisher will require permissions fees for re-use. The Model
for Improvement and other figures from The Improvement Guide, are managed through Jossey-Bass, an Imprint
of John Wiley & Sons, Inc., which manages all permissions for The Improvement Guide. Permission to use
requests should be directed to the permissions department of Wiley. Detailed instructions on how to get
permissions for Wiley titles are included in the front matter of all Wiley books, and there's a form available on
the website at:
http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-301703.html
In the event you have already used figures without permission, then you should contact Bradley Johnson in the
Wiley permissions department directly at Bjohns@wiley.com for any questions about correcting the current
situation. All future permissions should be handled through the website at the link above.
