Does anyone think the new RPM process works well? Does the fact that you don't have visibility on individual project ratings make sense? Do the questions for snapshots make sense at all?

I like the simplicity of completing snapshots, but actually think overall it's worse than the previous system

D4. in my experience (hope) Papa D will adjust to the criticisms of the iRPM system as is and make it more effective/useful/fulfilling. I'd encourage you to ride it out and see how it goes rather than jumping ship so quickly.

Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by some spineless passive aggressive manager during consensus or via irpm

Don't like that it gives people the ability to give a bad rating and then "hide". Leads to situations where you get a certain rating with zero productive feedback because the person who gave you the poor rating pretends they gave you a good one on the phone when your counselor reaches out for due diligence. Then your counselor is left w no way to give any constructive feedback. Overall a shitty system in my opinion that makes it easier to screw people

As someone who participates in multiple consensus meetings across S&O and GM, I can tell you that Consulting leadership isn't happy with RPM either. That being said, some of the comments on here are pretty ignorant about the actual consensus process and the discussion that takes place.
