‘You don’t truly understand pressure until you really don’t know what you are doing.’

Few people ever have to make life and death decisions under the extreme pressure that is exerted on the fast jet pilot in combat. Failure is not an option. If your teams can’t make effective decisions at a pace appropriate to circumstance, your organisation will lose.
This package offers anecdotal evidence that will undoubtedly improve decision making practices within your business.

‘Do not wait for perfection, run with what you have.’
– Churchill –
The pilot sits at the confluence of technical and human capability. Despite the influence of artificial and augmented intelligence, he or she remains the final arbiter in what constitutes a safe operation within a hostile environment.
This package looks beyond the physical and takes an in-depth account of the key competencies required for performance and safety-critical tasks within your organisation.

‘Never enter a scrap without the will to win it.’

Meticulous planning, quality briefing and excellence in execution of plan. From the get-go, these are the requirements demanded of any top team.
But no plan survives first contact with the enemy (Moltke): this package looks at how your business can out-plan the opposition.

‘Everyone has a great plan…until you get hit in the face.’

Most businesses cannot afford the luxury of being the biggest player. Remaining agile and flexible as you grow allows you to be highly responsive to rapidly changing environments.
This package looks at the ways in which your business can ensure long-term tactical advantage in a complex business space.
‘Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.’ Hawking Learn How Get in touch
‘Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’
– Einstein –
For combat, everything is briefed then debriefed; everything. At first it feels mind -blowing; then it becomes standard; then you learn that you cannot live without it…
Debriefing is an art-form and it takes time to master. If your organisation doesn’t debrief, you will make the same mistakes over and over again and the worst part is, you won’t even know it.
‘Leadership and learning from your mistakes are indispensable to one another.’ JFK Learn How Get in touch
Experience is something one gains immediately after the event in which it would have proved useful.
