Rapid Reverse Design Planning Virtual and In-Person

Regardless of the size of your project or the complexity of the issues at hand, you can best ensure the success of your efforts by having a clear and communicable vision for your organization to rally around. SynED’s Rapid Reverse Design Planning can provide that clarity without an endless string of meetings.

What is the difference between rapid planning and running efficient meetings?

Wikipedia’s definition states that PLANING:
“is the process of thinking regarding the activities required to achieve a desired goal. Planning is based on foresight, the fundamental capacity for mental time travel. It involves the use of logic and imagination to visualize not only a desired result, but the steps necessary to achieve that result.”

Whereas, project management training sites generally define a “PROJECT MEETING” as:
“a regular event that involves everyone, who shares or is interested in the project, in communicating with other participants and stakeholders by discussing issues, making proposals, approving or rejecting offers, for the purpose of generating group decisions that contribute to quicker project delivery, according to the planned goals and expected results.”

What is Rapid Reverse Design Planning?

Rapid Reverse Design Planning focuses on a visual planning process designed to bring out a group’s best thinking and energy to resolve a complex issue in an environment of fair play and equal participation. Based on elements of Compression© Planning and Amazon’s Reverse Design methodology, the process enables individuals to leverage their collaborative time, make better decisions faster, and get their people heading in the same direction. This helps to get complex projects with fresh new ideas moving faster.

In-Person/Virtual/Hybrid

SynED’s offering is designed for both virtual and in-person delivery and, we have found, use of the virtual tools very effective for both. Virtual sessions are designed specifically for the digital experience and not a recreation of the in-person event. Using Zoom as the meeting room platform, and Padlet for collaborative story boarding, our facilitators orchestrate a lively and effective planning session.

Many customers have said that the virtual process was better than the in-person process due to lack of travel and greater time flexibility. The virtual story boarding tool can also feed directly into many project management systems to make implementing your action plan even easier.

So, How Does SynED’s Rapid Reverse Design Planning Work?

It is based on 6 key Elements

1 Master Planning Mode:

SynED’s Facilitators meet with you to discuss, plan, and design your session with the goal of helping you evolve clarity around your issues. This design work provides you the opportunity to work at a speed you can only imagine. Facilitators will design a timed session that ensures your team will stay on track and collectively walk away with a written action and communication plan

2 Clarity and Team:

The design process starts with synED’s facilitators helping you identify and define your desired outcome. With that in hand they walk you through the process of identifying the appropriate stake holders to participate in the planning process.

3 Time Travel:

The planning team is then coached through writing a future press release that identifies the benefits and effects of a successful outcome. Key to this process are the concepts of dreaming, suspending disbelief and visualizing a result. All future steps in the planning process will revolve around this document.

4 Tactical Planning: 

SynED Facilitators lead your session virtually or in-person to ensure that your team fully explores all the required elements needed to implement a tactical plan and make your press release a reality. This helps ensure that everyone leaves with agreement and a full understanding of your Action Plan, Communication Plan and assigned responsibilities for implementing each. The team also receives a full Debrief Report of the Rapid Reverse Design Planning session!

5 Session Rules:

There are a strict set of rules that apply to the planning session. These are enforced by the facilitators and are known as the Exploring and Focusing Guidelines.

6 Storyboard System: 
Utilizing a virtual or in-person visual approach to capture ideas, this system gives you flexibility, speed, creativity, focus, and buy-in. The brain processes visual information 60,000 times faster than auditory!
