The Reflect-Plan-Do Matrix ✦



Reflect-Plan-Do is a research-based continuous improvement cycle developed by Dr. Laura McReavy.

The RPD Matrix identifies sticking points in cycle implementation.

A four-quadrant matrix with yellow and black colors. The axes are labeled 'PLANNING - REFLECTING' horizontally and 'REFLECTING' vertically. The quadrants contain the following labels in bold yellow text: top left - 'INSIGHT SEEKER'; top right - 'MISSION MOVER'; bottom left - 'HEART-LED HUSTLER'; bottom right - 'RESOURCEFUL REACTOR'. In the top right corner, there is a small label in red and yellow reading 'Reflect Plan Do Matrix'. Modifications in appearance include a yellow border around each quadrant.

The Reflect-Plan-Do Matrix plots how well metrics and program implementation support mission objectives.
