Why each option

The CSI approach consists of six steps; the 'Where do we want to be?' step focuses on establishing measurable improvement targets against the current baseline.

AImplementing service and process improvements

Implementing service and process improvements belongs to the 'How do we get there?' step, not the goal-setting step.

BReviewing measurements and metrics

Reviewing measurements and metrics is the activity performed in the 'Did we get there?' step, which verifies whether targets were met.

CCreating a baseline

Creating a baseline is performed in the 'Where are we now?' step, which precedes target-setting.

DDefining measurable targetsCorrect

Defining measurable targets is the core activity of this step, where specific, quantifiable goals are set to close the gap identified in the 'Where are we now?' assessment. These targets provide the success criteria that later steps will use to determine whether improvement has been achieved.
