The Rapid Response Team helps you slow down. We act as thinking partners to make sure you are solving the right problem, creating quick and effective action. “We partner with you in helping to make something happen. We are coaches that provide counseling and affirmation,” says Fred Miller, CEO and leader of the KJCG Rapid Response Team.

Every organization encounters challenges, even ones that are high performing or a great place to work. Recognizing the need for a rapid response is a great first step. Sometimes being part of the system leads to acting quickly to address issues, dealing with the immediate crisis, but not solving the overarching issue. When the root cause is not addressed, the issue is likely to arise again. We can help eliminate or reduce the risk of recurrence of these problems. When you are in an organization it can be hard to see the source of issues. Our Rapid Response Team brings in a different street corner or perspective to ensure you are doing the right work at the right time.

The KJCG Rapid Response Team can partner with you to address immediate situations; solutions can be realized within hours to 2 months. Our Team will work with you to customize a solution that is the right size for you and your organization. When a problem is sizable, we can help start a larger scale intervention.

Whether it is big or small, we help to determine what change strategy is right for you and what will create the most benefit for your organization.
