Start here
Part 1 of the Ripple Learn Centre gives every newcomer the shared language they need before diving into deeper workflows. Start with the “What is Ripple” primer, then walk the flipped-meeting model, onboarding runbook, and the two core collaboration surfaces: Channels and Jams.
Audience
- Primary roles: founders, chiefs of staff, operations leads, team managers launching Ripple.
- Secondary roles: ICs asked to pilot async workflows, enablement partners, EA/Chief of Staff support.
- Notes: This section assumes you already have workspace access; if not, follow the invite flow in Getting started.
Core concepts
- What is Ripple — vision, operating principles, and the value promise.
- The Flipped Meeting Model — how Ripple restructures time before, during, and after meetings.
- Getting started — workspace creation, invites, calendar sync, and personalization in under 10 minutes.
- Channels & chat — organizing collaboration into themed workstreams.
- Jams — async-first meetings with AI summaries, sentiment, and recurring rituals.
- Ripple Onboarding Guide — New Zealand Edition 2025 — the curated country guide for NZ teams.
Note
Version 25.docx is mirrored in the Ripple Onboarding Guide — New Zealand Edition 2025. Treat that page as the single source of truth for UI copy, screenshots, and numbered sections (1–6) referenced throughout Start Here.
