RIPE

brings the RIght PEople together
for better and faster decisions

Our customers run scaled delivery organizations such as a SAFe™ Agile Release Train, big programme or any kind of delivery organization where many teams need to collaborate. 

They face a particularly hard challenge: Identifying those topics which need cross-team attention and addressing them with the right people. Fast.

This is how not to solve this problem:

Our customers recognize that they need to apply a new thinking to solve the biggest problem of scaling for good. They purposely discontinue the old paradigm of a freedom for everyone to invite anyone to anything anytime!

Our solution - RIPE - is a complete and ready-to-use format which has been designed for scaled delivery organizations of any size, any team topology and any framework in use. 

RIPE replaces your conventional meeting structure by a completely new and truly agile interaction based on the open space social technology powered with additional hacks. It literally cleans up the space in your agenda occupied by regular and ad-hoc meetings for good. 

RIPE gives you the key to the scaling dilemma: How to scale your organization without having the additional capacity eaten up by fire-fighting of cross-team issues and by tedious alignment?

RIPE Framework consists of four core steps and four roles. The respective playbook including additional guidelines is published inside the RIPE Universe - the place where RIPE Guides share their knowledge and jointly improve the framework.

The typical use cases of a RIPE implementation:

« This format has replaced conventional meetings and accelerated our decision making process substantially! »

« We all know statements like “one should…” and “one must…”. Thanks to RIPE we now know who “one” is and when and where they can be spoken to. This approach creates clarity across our entire organization in a very efficient and a goal-oriented way »
