  1. RAPID RESULTS APPROACH APPLYING THE TOOL TO AfCOP Implementing the Work Plan 2nd Annual meeting 27-30 November 2008 Mauritius

  2. Today’s Objectives Introduce the Rapid-Results Approach & Process • Work to: • Define Rapid-Results Goal • Develop Work Plan to achieve the goal • Agree on how teams will operate

  3. Implementation is Tough 50% of projects fail to achieve their objectives 75% of projects come in over budget and/or behind schedule

  4. Why Implementation is tough? Goal is in the distant future Being busy with too many things Leaving tasks ill-defined and vague Not making it clear who is in charge Making things very complex and interdependent

  5. Implementation Risk Count the Number of Squares

  7. The Rapid Results Approach • Rapid Results Approach (RRA) is a results-focused learning process (methodology) aimed at jump-starting major organizational change efforts and enhancing implementation capacity. • RRA tackles large-scale medium and long-term change efforts through a series of small-scale, results-producing and momentum-building initiatives implemented within 100-days, commonly referred to as 100-day Rapid Results Initiative (RRI).

  8. Rapid Results Approach Cont… • These short-term 100-day initiative goals therefore form the building block towards the achievement of the long-term goals • The premise of the Rapid-Results Approach is to create a context for learning and for enhancing implementation capacity • Helps organizations work on sharply defined 100-day initiatives that dovetail into Annual Work Plans and Strategic Plans

  9. Rapid Approach The approach is an RBM tool designed to help teams avoid implementation challenges A results focused learning methodology (Action Learning) Jump-starts major organizational change efforts

  10. Results Focus “A results-focused approach to implementing strategy “ • Breaks down long-term goals into 100-day Results Commitments • Enhances practice of implementation disciplines in each 100-day period • Strengthens accountability for Results

  11. How it Works Create a temporary governance structure Team empowered to: Break down long term goals into 100 day RESULTS commitments (RRI) Develop a work plan to realize the goal

  12. Management Methodology • Start by focusing on a few Results • Challenge teams to achieve 100-day “Results goals” • Create temporary governance and support structure • Manage the scale-up beyond the first 100 days

  13. Long-Term Activities Rapid Results Initiatives The Rapid-Results Approach Activities Overall Objective Year 2 Year 1 Year 3 Time

  15. DEVELOPING THEMATIC AREAS Select thematic areas from the work plan plan that are: Linked to achieving the current goals Priority areas for AfCoP Can be achieved using available budget and in 100days

  16. Creating the Work Plan Developing a good work plan to achieve your goal • Develop Milestones • Must be a major accomplishment • Stated in past tense • Develop Action Steps i.e. specific steps to be taken; • Start with an action verb • Spell out a concrete deliverable • Include a deadline • Be clearly assigned to one person (from the team) • Test and Refine the work plan • Are all relevant milestones included? • Are the activities as detailed as possible? • Is there ONE person assigned to over see each activity?
