Action Workout™ employs a simple Five-Step Fast-Track to guide rapid, focused improvement in 60-to 90-day timeframes. Using the Action Workout Fast-Track, leaders can speed results on virtually any improvement initiative, while keeping their business running.
Step 1: Leadership Jumpstart
•
Faster execution starts with leadership decisiveness and support.
•
In a half-to one-day “Jumpstart Event”, Action Workout helps leaders set the agenda for rapid improvement by clarifying improvement targets, prioritizing project opportunities, selecting the right people and chartering teams.
The Result: A detailed Sprint Improvement Plan.

•
Action Workout Teams operate with defined charters, structured team toolkits and the mandate to take team and individual accountability for action and results.
The Result: Employees can take action to improve performance and processes while keeping their “day jobs”.
Step 3: Execute Weekly Assignments
•
Action Workout Teams get things done with a simple regimen of focused weekly meetings to develop clear action assignments.
•
Every member of the team is required to take specific action each week to advance the team’s objectives and implement solutions.
The Result: Teams stay on track and workloads are balanced.
Step 4: Launch Action Teams
•
As teams close in on the finish line, they employ Action Workout’s unique Results Assessment Tools to measure impact on customers, employees and the bottom line.
The Result: Clear linkage between improvements implemented and impact on customer satisfaction and the bottom line.
Step 5: Recognize Contributions and Sustain Improvement
•
Every Action Workout Sprint closes with a meeting to report results, recognize team members and lock-in the follow-up plan for sustaining results.
•
Leaders gain confidence in their people and the process and team members are energized and excited to contribute on future projects.
The Result: A “closed loop” on results achieved, lessons learned and team recognition.
