A rib relay is an official business term for a specific type of problem-solving and decision-making method that encourages collaboration and collective perspective among members of a team. It emphasizes the importance of group communication, cooperation and integration to achieve organizational objectives. At its core, a rib relay involves taking brief turns—or “ribs”—in proposing solutions to a single issue. This process allows each team member a chance to share their ideas, enabling individuals to learn from one another and ultimately come to more informed and well-rounded conclusions that can help a business succeed.
