Equip yourself with the FAST Framework to guide businesses in streamlining processes, optimizing systems, and building high-performance operational engines that drive efficiency and market leadership.
The AFCSI FAST Productivity Pathway
Key Capabilities of a FAST Productivity Coach.
Engineer a High-Performance Organization. Help clients map their current operations, de-risk business processes, and build an operational engine with clear roles and accountability.
Systematize Operations for Scaled Efficiency. Guide businesses in implementing standard operating procedures (SOPs), leverage technology, and establish data-driven governance for consistent, efficient, and scalable performance.
Drive Continuous Improvement & Peak Productivity. Inspire organizations to build a continuous improvement (CI) engine, optimize key processes with advanced analysis, and iterate towards sustained peak operational performance.
The FAST Productivity Pathway: A Proven Blueprint.
Learn strategies, tools, and coaching skills.Guide businesses through every phase of operational transformation. Map current operations. Set clear OKRs and KPIs. Build foundational engines. Systematize for efficiency. Iterate to achieve peak performance.
Your Journey Through the Four Stages of FAST Productivity
The AFCSI FAST Productivity Pathway certification systematically guides you through our comprehensive four-stage framework. Each stage equips you with distinct strategies and tools to effectively coach businesses from initial operational mapping to sustained peak performance.
MAP (PD01)
Charting the Course for Operational Excellence. Master the art of diagnosing operational health. Guide clients to map current state value streams (VSM), identify critical bottlenecks and inefficiencies, de-risk assumptions, establish initial KPIs, and co-create a compelling "Innovate Blueprint" for their future state operations.
Value Stream Mapping
Effectively map and analyze current operational processes.
Identify Core Inefficiencies
Pinpoint key bottlenecks, waste, and areas for improvement.
De-Risk Operational Designs
Validate assumptions for new operational models before implementation.
BUILD (PD02)
Constructing the Foundational Operational Engine. Learn to translate the "Build Mandate" from PD01 into a functioning V1.0 operational engine. Guide clients in defining core processes, selecting appropriate technology, forming the launch team, and managing the initial "go-live" for stable, productive operations.
Design V1.0 Operations
Define core processes, workflows, and initial tech stacks.
Manage Operational Launch
Oversee the "go-live" of new operational systems and teams.
Stabilize Early Operations
Implement problem-solving for initial "teething issues" post-launch.
SYSTEMATIZE (PD03)
Engineering Scalable, Efficient Systems. Focus on creating robust, repeatable, and scalable systems for long-term efficiency. Master implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), leveraging technology for automation, establishing data-driven operational governance through relevant KPIs and performance dashboards, and optimizing for scaled output.
Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
Craft clear, effective SOPs for key processes.
Leverage Technology for Efficiency
Identify and implement tech solutions for automation and scale.
Establish Data-Driven Governance
Implement relevant KPIs and reporting rhythms to monitor and manage scaled operations effectively.
ITERATE (PD04)
Driving Continuous Improvement & Peak Performance. Embed a culture of relentless continuous improvement. Guide organizations to build a CI engine, utilize advanced process analysis, strategically simplify where needed, and iterate towards sustained peak operational performance and market leadership, continually refining OKRs and KPIs to reflect evolving goals.
Build a Continuous Improvement (CI) Engine
Foster a culture and system for ongoing optimization.
Advanced Process Optimization
Apply sophisticated techniques to refine and enhance key operations.
Sustain Peak Operational Performance
Ensure systems and performance metrics (OKRs/KPIs) evolve to maintain efficiency and market leadership.
