RAPID Decision-Making Model

The RAPID model focuses on clarifying roles and streamlining the decision-making process. This directly addresses friction caused by unclear ownership, lack of accountability, and misalignment within the organizational structure.

The RAPID Decision-Making Model is a framework designed to assign clear roles and responsibilities to different stakeholders in the decision-making process. It stands for Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, and Decide. The model helps organizations make decisions efficiently and effectively by clarifying who is accountable for what decisions. It is particularly beneficial in complex environments where multiple stakeholders are involved.
