RAPID (Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, and Decision)

“In business, every opportunity seized or missed is the

result of a decision that someone made or failed to

make. No matter how clever your company's

strategy is, if the right decisions aren't made

effectively - and executed quickly and consistently -

your business will lose ground.“

- Marcia Blenko and Paul Rogers
