Rapid Results implementation



 

 
Rapid Results - a unique process to achieving objectives and improvements

iResults equips managers and leaders to implement change efforts and make extraordinary things happen by tapping into the hidden potential inside their people. This is achieved using a structured business tool called Rapid Results.

iResults follows a unique process that takes bite size pieces of a long-term strategy and implements it in achievable, short-term cycles of 100 days.

These successive waves of short-term projects spiral, improving levels of innovation, accountability and performance by building people's capacity to change the way things are done.

The emphasis of Rapid Results is on tangible results that deliver:

  • continuous learning, change and improvement;
  • a material impact on performance; and
  • a paradigm shift, making business improvement part of every day.

Sustainability - a strong people focus

iResults uses a people approach and puts people who don't normally work together around one table to find answers to challenges. It's the people component that underlines the sustainability of improvement using Rapid Results.

  • Teams are multidisciplinary and multi-level, generating buy-in from the top to the bottom.
  • The team members experiment with alternative solutions, based on their experience and expertise.
  • The team, not consultants, owns the process, increasing the probability of success for the long term.
  • The approach helps to create a new culture by involving people in the change.
  • Individuals, even the lowest level employees, understand how their role affects the overall strategy by making their work purposeful.

iResults elicits learning and sharing across levels and functions, helping to break down the business silos and deliver sustainable solutions that respond directly to the real status quo.
