Flawless Execution Keynote

Team Building – Afterburner Day

A half-day interactive training program that exposes your team to the Flawless Execution^SM Cycle through an exciting experiential learning format. The Flawless Execution^SM Cycle is a simple, scalable and endlessly repeatable process that helps individuals, teams and organizations rapidly adapt to change and improve execution and learning. Participants will utilize their learning in a simulation where each member is assigned a unique role requiring their involvement in order to create a common challenge for their entire team to debrief against. Consequently, the scenario develops teamwork and coordination. At the end of the day, participants will be equipped with tools they can immediately apply in their teams. This is the only team building program on the market that can accommodate groups of 30 to 2000.

Rapid Planning Workshop

The Rapid Planning Workshop can be added to any Keynote or Afterburner Day. Participants will take away how to develop quick, tactical plans using our combat-proven planning process. Individually or in small functional groups, participants identify a can’t fail mission to begin applying Flawless Execution. Using the Six Steps to Mission Planning, the Afterburner team will help the participants plan out a roadmap for success. The individuals will identify a clear, measurable achievable mission objective, threats, resources, lessons learned from previous missions and develop a course of action that will yield success. When your group leaves, everyone will have a plan that they can begin executing the very next day. But more than just a plan, participants will walk away equipped with a new planning process that enables them to create strong plans quickly for flawless performance in tight time lines. *cannot be booked without a keynote.
