Better Performance Reviews in 140 Characters: Why we Built Rypple

Posted by Daniel Debow. Co-CEO

Tim Sackett, the EVP of HRU Technical Resources just wrote a great post “Better Performance Reviews in 140 Characters…” on FistFul of Talent.

Tim did some performance reviews recently and was struck by how much more clear, direct, and productive it would be if they were limited to 140 characters, like Twitter.

I believe I’ve uncovered the manager’s dream!  140 character Performance Review – 30 seconds and you’re out.   What an increase to productivity, to clarity – I mean how could you not be clear and concise in 140 characters.

We couldn’t agree more Tim!   Limiting characters forces people to be clear and concise. No fluff, just direct actionable feedback.

That’s why we built Rypple.  It takes your core insight of easy to create and concise feedback and builds on it to create a useful solution for improving insight, productivity, and performance.  And, like Twitter – it’s fun!

It takes seconds to give useful Rypple feedback.   And, because its so quick, people get more feedback, continuously, which helps people to develop.

We love it when smart people reaffirm why we built Rypple.  Thanks Tim!
