Rapid Change

The brains
of the business.

Real business results from real tools
Close the gap
between what you know and what you do

You and your company have done the research, drafted the plan and tested your assumptions. You know where you want to go. Now it is time for execution. How do you get everyone on the same page to do what's necessary? At NewPage Corp., managers and employees have been able to make the direct connection between the skills and tools they've learned and their bottomline results; even in this difficult economy.

“Where else can I invest and get that kind of return?
We accomplished in 18 months what it takes other companies 3-to-5 years.”
- NewPage CEO Rick Willett

Best Business Practices + Cognitive Brain Research

Tools to help employees be ready, willing and able

Before you begin any major initiative or change in strategy or approach, ask yourself if people at each level in your organization are as prepared as they will need to be when the best of plans doesn't pan out. Will they have the tools they need to succeed?
Our tools are based on two decades of research by experts such as Dr. John Ratey, left, in three areas: emotions, cognitive brain research and best business practices. They continue to be informed by leaders in these fields. The tools allow employees to be ready, willing and able to lead change.

LeanSixSigma + RapidChange

It shouldn't take forever: slow down to speed up
Combining the communication tools of RapidChange and the Rapid Action Teams approach of Leap Technologies works wonders for companies that need change now, not months from now.

Conflict resolution for measurable solutions
Learn how to make meaningful progress
Corporations fail when they do not meet conflict - both passive and aggressive - in a safe and respectful manner. We have processes and procedures for almost everything in the workplace. Why not for conflict?

"Too often we were fighting and winning
but not solving anything.
RapidChange gave us the tools to move
forward and get things done."

-Lee Bendtsen, former mill manager talking
about management's relations with the unions.
