What It Means To Iterate®

Your Next Best Step

 

To Iterate® is to take the next most intelligent step from here, learn from it, and repeat.  If you run a management team, that's exactly what you need them to do: constantly learn, constantly adjust, and never stop moving your organization toward its goals, a step at a time.

When they fail to do this, you get silos, infighting, and waste. 

When they succeed, you get a team that's fast, flexible and focused - one that responds quickly to issues, shifts resources intelligently as things change, and keeps an eye on priorities and results. 

Iterative Management®

   five key practices

High performing, highly flexible management teams differ from each other in many ways, but they do have something in common: The Five Key Practices of Iterative Management®. Learning these practices and applying them within your own management team is the best way to increase performance, reduce stress, and position your whole organization for success in an ever-changing future.

Transform Management

   at every level

 

If you're an executive overseeing middle and/or senior managers, Iterative Management® will tear down silos. Your organization will stop competing for your attention and start working together in pursuit of the goals you've laid out.

If you're a manager of middle managers, Iterative Management® will increase results-focused collaboration across your organization. You'll get out the business of refereeing turf wars and into position to drive the higher level output your leadership demands.

If you're a manager of front line supervisors, Iterative Management® will help your team coordinate their output and make better forecasts. You'll have better information to bring to your management and a team that's better equipped to deliver on your commitments.

 

A Practical Approach

   to Management

 

Iterative Management® isn't about abstract theories. It's an operational approach to running a management team that keeps the organization on track and coordinated. It's how the highest performing organizations are managing themselves today, even though they don't all realize it! To run a fast, flexible, focused management team, you need practical action steps, not abstract theories.
