Afterburners
A one-of-a-kind, interactive, high energy experience that is custom-tailored to inspire leadership, integrated teamwork and the quick-flexible thinking essential to fighter pilots and business managers alike. EXPERTISE: Team Building, Change, Strategy
The Afterburners apply the strategies of military fighter pilot training to business practices. Knowing how to assess risk, prioritize tasks, and overcome challenges can mean the difference between success and defeat in the fast, high-tech, changeable world of business today.


 
Traveling at speeds faster than sound, fighter pilots make lightening-fast, life-or-death decision every moment they're in the air. Now these hard-earned skills are brought to bear on the business world, and taught by the very men and women who risked their lives to feel the thrill of air battle. Mission strategy, risk assessment, communication, and execution - these are key elements in business - and in aerial combat.

The Afterburners Seminars - founded by ace fighter pilot Jim Murphy - provide a one-of-a-kind, interactive, high energy experience that is custom-tailored to inspire leadership, integrated teamwork and the quick-flexible thinking essential to fighter pilots and business managers alike. Audiences learn to think on their feet, react to change, set a strategic plan - and then execute it. At Afterburners programs, audiences discover and apply the tools that top fighter pilots rely on every day.

Flawless Execution
Your business can take a lesson from the American military's fighter pilots. At Mach 2, the instrument panel of an F-15 is screaming out information, the horizon is a blur, the wingman is occupied, the jet is hanging on the edge -- and yet fighter pilots routinely handle the stress. It's not much different in today's unforgiving business world. One slipup and your company is bankrupt before your employees know what hit them.

What works on the squadron level for F-15 pilots will also work for your marketing team, sales force, or research and development group. By analyzing the work environment and attacking its centers of gravity in parallel, you'll begin to utilize the Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief-Win cycle that will rapidly impact your business's future success. U.S. fighter squadrons have been using this program for nearly fifty years to reduce their mistake rate, cut casualties and equipment losses, and rack up an envious victory record. Now, with Flawless Execution, your business can too.
