Rapid Learning Cycles Global Project Leader Certification Workshop
Prepare to Lead Your Team to High Velocity Innovation
Teams Can't Accelerate Product Development
Without New Ways of Thinking
- No one thinks their innovation or product development teams are fast enough.
- Long slow loopbacks cause project delays, cost overruns and a loss of confidence.
- The typical shortcuts, made by teams under pressure, make these loopbacks more prevalent and more damaging.
- Loopbacks are not addressed and may even be exacerbated when teams try to become more "agile".
- Teams have not fully adapted to the changing work environment which makes online collaboration a necessity.
Why Rapid Learning Cycles
Lead to Confident Decisions
You may have tried to...
- Impose schedule and/or budget pressure to try to force creativity.
- Isolate your innovation teams from the rest of the organization to “protect” them.
- Encourage teams to “act more like a startup” by hacking away at the product until it works.
- Apply software development methodologies to tangible products.
...we have a breakthrough framework for repeatable results.
I had some doubts about sending all our Project Managers and whether they would learn how to use Rapid Learning Cycles better for their own projects. But I am sticking with the decision to send them all as it is another positive experience with Rapid Learning Cycles when they are applying it together with RLC enthusiasts from other companies and more attention to the thinking behind the framework. The best part of the class was the three baskets that help determine which elements of Rapid Learning Cycles drive success and therefore must be applied rigorously, and which ones can be left for the team to decide.
The class prepared us very well for explaining Rapid Learning Cycles to teams that will work with it and convincing stakeholders of the logic behind it. The workshop will give you the tools and insights that you need to judge and positively influence the quality of the plans of the teams that you guide. With that the learning on how to successfully apply Rapid Learning Cycles in your company will be accelerated.
