What is the RAPID Approach? Meaning.
The RAPID Approach is a decision-making tool that can help
assigning clear and specific roles when a decision has to be made. It was
described by Bain & Company consultants Paul Rogers and Marcia Blenko in the
HBR of Jan 2006.
It is an Acronym for:
-
R = Recommend. The people responsible for making
a proposal or offering alternatives, gathering input, and providing the
right data and analysis. They must have a common sense about what is reasonable,
practical and effective.
-
A = Agree. The people having veto power. Signs the
proposal, somebody from the legal department.
-
I = Input. The people that must be consulted. They
should provide information and are typically involved in the implementation.
-
D = Decide. Formal decision-maker. Accountable, has
authority to make the decision and the power to commit the organization.
-
P = Perform. The people that are responsible for
execution the proposal.
This tool is similar to the RACI Method which is also aimed at identifying roles and responsibilities in decisions and projects.
