Biography

methodologies we can help take your team to the next level in
performance. The combination of sound organizational development and
combat-proven methodologies has made Afterburner Inc one of the fastest
growing training and consulting organizations in the country. The
Flawless Execution Model is a proven process used by elite military
professionals around the world to execute missions when the stakes are
high and failure is not an option. Corporate success, like success in
combat, depends on execution.
Afterburner’s team of men and
women elite former military professionals has a powerful mix of combat
experience combined with extensive business skills. Many members are
graduates of top business schools and academies. Afterburner uses the
combat proven methodologies of elite military professionals working with
your team to achieve victory in a rapidly changing business environment.
Flawless Execution works! It is dynamic and powerful because it is
simple to use, yet the effects are lasting. The results are disciplined,
coordinated and predictable. Afterburner has an unwavering focus on
improving your team’s ability to execute. Your team can improve
execution and stay one step ahead of the competition in just four simple
steps.
The Flawless Execution
Model:
Plan : The plan starts with an objective that is clear,
measurable and achievable and supports your company’s overall strategy.
Brief : You communicate the plan. It is essential that people on the
front lines know exactly what is expected of them. Businesses ignore
this — often at their peril.
Execute : Even with a solid plan and
a good brief, a mission can still fail due to Task Saturation or task
overload. Task Saturation is the reality or perception of having too
much to do without the time or resources to accomplish it. Even with the
resources people still have to manage conflicting priorities. We know
that as Task Saturation increases, performance decreases; therefore, at
Afterburner we help teams combat Task Saturation by identifying
resources and managing priorities.
Debrief : The last step is the Debriefing. After each mission,
Fighter Pilots hold a nameless, rankless Debrief. Each person, without
fear of reprimand, rehashes what worked, what did not work and why both
the good events and the bad events happened. We then take the key
lessons learned from the Debrief and apply them to the next plan.
Debriefing speeds up learning. It lets us fine tune the processes that
ensure success.
Win! : Our goal is to win by aligning your team
around a disciplined, scalable process in order to achieve business
results.

Flawless Sales Execution
When the economy is great, you can tolerate sales teams that are less than
flawless, but what happens when the tables are turned and the economy isn't
doing so great? You can't afford to have your sales teams operate at only a
fraction of their potential. Your sales teams should hit their numbers not
70%, not 80%, but 100% of the time. But how can sales teams really improve
their performance overnight? The answer…Afterburner brings you Flawless
Sales Execution. Your sales teams are capable of success in any
environment hostile or calm. The power to lead your sales teams to victory
can be found in this sales keynote presentation.
The day begins in the main briefing room where you will learn how Fighter
Pilots adapt to change, assess risk, and prepare for their mission using the
Six Steps to Combat Mission Planning. Suddenly, an urgent telegram will
interrupt the briefing and alert your team that they have been attacked by a
coalition of hostile competitors. Your Fighter Pilots will split into
squadrons (breakout groups of 15) where, with the help of their Afterburner
facilitator, they will have one hour to formulate a plan to regain your
market share. Leadership, teamwork, and communication will allow each group
to overcome the challenges of this dynamic Mission Planning exercise. The
Afterburners use SCUD missile attacks, intruders, and information overload
to closely parallel today's task saturated work environment in a fun, new
format that ensures a lasting impression. After utilizing these tools for
planning and execution, your team will discover how Fighter Pilots learn
from their mistakes through an effective debrief. The Afterburners nameless/rankless
debriefs shed new light on how your associates can identify and learn from
costly mistakes.
Leaning Forward
[Half Day Event (3-4 hours) Group sizes 12-1,000]. If you don't have time
for a full Afterburner Day, yet still want to lead your group through an
awesome team-building event, then our high-energy, fast-paced Leaning
Forward program is for you. This event captures the essentials of the
Afterburner Day in a compact format, focusing on planning and debriefing.
Leaning Forward is an interactive, corporate event program where your team
will learn, via lecture and experiential learning, how fighter pilots strive
for flawless execution in every single mission. Your group will work
side-by-side with some of America's top fighter pilots and learn how they
excel in the business of combat. Our Afterburner team brings these lessons
to your own business environment, in living color, using a multimedia
presentation, a role playing breakout session with experienced military
fighter pilots as facilitators, and punctuated by an intensely climatic and
motivational closing. The energy and skill training of this event will
improve your group's performance at every level.
Black OpsSM is comprised of unique men that have served in the
Joint Special Operations Command or JSOC. JSOC is the joint command
that coordinates each branch’s elite military forces such as the U.S. Navy
SEAL’s; the U.S. Army’s Delta Force, Green Beret’s, Rangers and Task Force
160; and the U.S. Air Force’s Para-rescue.
Each Black OpsSM team member has unique real world
business experience enabling them to facilitate Flawless Execution, not just
as soldiers, but as businessmen as well. Each member of the Black OpsSM
team has a background in not just leading troops, but leading
companies.
Elite military commando units have an impressive record of near 100% mission
success in high-risk and unpredictable operational environments. Our 2
to 8 man team will lead your company through an exciting, cutting edge Black
OpsSM event and instruct participants on how to incorporate the
same “Flawless Execution” cycle in their business missions – the same cycle
that America’s elite military forces use every day.
The Afterburner Black OpsSM group excels not just in Special
Operations within the military, but also in some of America’s most notable
corporations. This experience provides them the valuable insight into what
it takes to assist your teams in accomplishing their missions on the modern
business battlefield.
Program description:
Every Black OpsSM event is centered around the Flawless Execution
ModelSM- Plan, Brief, Execute, Debrief, Win! This innovative team
building event is under 3 hours in length and uses the latest in
technologies including i-Touch communication devices and custom digital
mapping software. After the opening lecture, we will split your group
into teams of 18-25 participants.
These teams are then put through an energizing team building
exercise. This exercise
stresses the Plan, Brief, Execute, Debrief process that has made units like
Delta Force and the U.S. Navy SEAL’s so successful.
Real business take-aways are obtained during two complete cycles of planning
a hostage rescue mission that highlights the benefits of debriefing and the
value of lessons learned. On average, groups have yielded an
improvement of over 70% when properly debriefed between the first and second
missions. These debriefing techniques and lessons learned are
reinforced during the wrap up and connected to your team’s real world
business execution rhythm.
