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.

Testimonials
“Excellent, job, easy to work with, delivered what we asked for”.
Medtronic Australasia Pty Ltd
"We first used Afterburners in June… - we had just restructured our national retail sales team of over 117 staff and wanted to provide my new team with a cohesive team event that embodied what we were striving to achieve for the new financial year - new performance culture, provide new insights on how to do things better and do so in an environment that stretched our sales team...Afterburners absolutely delivered beyond our best expectations.
It was a perfect session for our sales team who come out motivated not just in the short-term, but on achieving long-term our objectives & budget”.
Telstra Consumer & Marketing
“I write this letter to thank you and your team for the workshop last week at our National Sales Conference. Your ‘flawless execution’ of the session left the group in awe of what can be achieved through effective planning and execution.
We are exposed to many motivational speakers but none of them come close to the tailored and practical style of Afterburner. Your attention to detail and the depth of your knowledge of our business was second to none and was commented on by a number of members of the team.
I have had feedback from our teams around the country that they have already started conducting briefing sessions, and indeed I have restructured the way in which I communicate with the team. It certainly says something when this type of response occurs unprompted. I look forward to working with you in the future”.
