RMG’s Methodology
RMG’s methodology is designed to be applicable within numerous contexts. Each phase of the methodology is backed by a thorough set of tools and techniques developed and refined over 30 years. The content of each step in the RMG methodology is flexible and based on the unique project objectives.

Cross-functional teams develop revised processes and procedures to address improvement opportunities. The management expectations document then becomes the directive to the Implementation Planning and Design group. A cross-functional team is then lead through the development of improved processes. Finally, dedicated training and field coaching drives ownership and sustainment amongst the organization.
