Focused interactive workshop sessions

The RPI Methodology uses highly interactive and engaging workshop sessions to capture information relevant to where the organization is in its improvement efforts.

The RPI Method emphasizes developing workshop facilitation skills to plan, direct and manage each session. In particular,

• Each session is planned in advance with clear precise objectives to ensure efficient use of people's time and energy
• Participant selection focuses on broad participation while using knowledgable opinion leaders as appropriate
• Sessions are typically 1.5 to 2 hours long
• Workshop sessions use the 80/20 rule to get 80% of the results with 20% of the effort (that is, emphasis is on learning, not on perfecting)
• Emphasis is placed on achieving consensus of decisions quickly and efficiently
• Issues not resolved in a session (in not achieving consensus) are captured publicly and tracked to closure
