Before You Begin
About The Rapid Improvement Process
Part One — Foundations
Why conflict matters, where the Perry Approach came from, and how the method works as a whole.
Chapter 1: Why Conflict is Your Secret Weapon
Chapter 2: Development of The Rapid Improvement Process
Chapter 3: The Perry Approach to the Evaporating Cloud Method — A TRIP Through the Cloud
Part Two — Building the Cloud (Steps 1–7)
One chapter per step. Each takes a single move of the Perry Approach and deepens the work Chapter 3 walked through at altitude. David and Sarah appear as paired cases throughout — two conflicts dissolved by the same method.
Chapter 4: Step 1 — Identifying What's Really Happening (D′)
Chapter 5: Step 2 — Defining Where You Want to Go (D)
Chapter 6: Step 3 — Surfacing the Benefits of D (B)
Chapter 7: Step 4 — Honouring What's Working: Benefits of D′ (C)
Chapter 8: Step 5 — Finding Your Unified Outcome (A)
Chapter 9: Step 6 — Reading the Cloud
Chapter 10: Step 7 — Identifying the Undesirable Effects (UDEs)
Part Three — Evaporating the Cloud (Steps 8–10)
Challenging the assumptions that hold the conflict in place — first the technical assumption (C–D′), then the adaptive belief (A–C), and finally weaving the technical options and adaptive shift into a single coherent solution.
Chapter 11: Step 8 — Surfacing Options on C–D′
Chapter 12: Step 9 — The Adaptive Shift (A→C)
Chapter 13: Step 10 — The Unified Solution
Part Four — Applying the Practice
Taking the method from the page into daily life — and discovering that the method, practised beyond a single cloud, becomes the way you think.
