Intro to Drîm
Dramatic Improvement is the discipline, framework and practice of deliberately and systematically improving any situation or thing dramatically.
The Drîm Framework is highly compatible - rather than competitive - with all other techniques and approaches: by intent, definition and design.
It enables anyone to secure significant gains - nearly immediately - in any challenging situation: the more challenging the more certain & dramatic the gains.
The Drîm Concept
Once you'e grasped the idea, you'll find yourself applying it automatically.
The Drîm Concept
The basic idea is that every single situation can be improved dramatically, by anyone.
The trick is to use simple, universal dramatic improvement patterns.
Examples across common domains, dimensions and arenas make it quicker and easier.
Dramatic Improvement is a thinking virus: familiarity - and even exposure - to the framework and solutions, results in an immediate jump in automatic and intuitive drîm insight and capability.
The Drîm Manifesto
Dramatic Improvement is ALWAYS possible.

Drîm Impact Expectations
What can you expect in your seemingly intractable situation?
Drîm Impact Expectations
You can expect to improve things by 25% to 50% within 2-3 weeks within your role & within 2-3 months, within your organisation, if you give it a fair whack.
You should notice the impact within a few hours & days, respectively, though.
The more this looks like Mission Impossible, the more certain & significant the gains are likely to be.
It's amazing what happens when you switch from fighting the levers to using them!
