Schaffer Consulting works with leaders and teams to unlock organizational talent, attain breakthrough results, and develop critical capabilities. - We created the "Rapid Results" approach in which short-term, results-producing "Breakthrough projects" serve as the vehicles for accelerating change. - As a member of the original team, we helped General Electric develop the WorkOut methodology and co-authored the authoritative text on WorkOut. - We pioneered in making the integration of acquired companies an organized process rather than an improvisation. - We were the first to practice and write about results-fueled leadership development based on the conviction that achieving critical goals provides the most powerful development experience. - Working with the World Bank and other global aid organizations, we have introduced the Rapid Results Approach in developing countries to achieve vital tasks and empower community participants. - To advance this breakthrough approach in international development we created the Rapid Results Institute, a non-profit corporation, and support it with time and funds.
