Rapid Learning Cycles Institute

Did you know at least two out of five new products fail to deliver the results promised to customers and stakeholders? Many new products don't make it to market at all. But of the ones that do, 40% deliver disappointing results and fail to meet customer expectations. This usually comes from three common root causes: Wrong Product: Poor product-market fit. Wrong Time: Project Delays & Overloaded Resources Wrong Price: Late Design Changes That Add Cost & Quality Risk The Rapid Learning Cycles framework is a innovation project accelerant that helps companies deliver the right product, at the right time, at the right price. You can avoid project delays, wasted investments, poor sales and organization-wide disappointment. Rapid Learning Cycles eliminates long, slow loopbacks by helping teams make better decisions in early product development that do not need to be revisited in later development. Teams that adopt the RLC framework bypass these late design churns that cause schedule delays and cost overruns. Since then, our founder, Katherine Radeka, and her team have honed and refined the framework into a repeatable process that has helped over 100 companies around the world. As of 2023, companies including Philips, Whirlpool, Breville, Steelcase, SECO Tools, Novozymes, Novo Nordisk, Sonion, SunPower/Maxeon, Water Insights, Trimax Mowers, Gallagher, Oasis Engineering, Greenheck, Hyster Yale, Aeroshield, & many others have released hundreds of new products into the market that used the Rapid Learning Cycles framework in early development.
