Healthcare Safety ProgramOver 98,000 people die every year from preventable medical mistakes. Many of these are simple execution errors. Afterburner Healthcare Safety Programs are designed to help healthcare organizations reduce these kinds of errors through the use of Flawless Execution and CRM (Crew Resource Management) tools and techniques. We offer keynotes, interactive teambuilding events and training workshops specifically focused on the unique needs of this high-risk environment.
Afterburner healthcare events are educational and teambuilding experiences designed to fire up the team and create the momentum necessary for performance improvement. In any change initiative, overcoming inertia can be a leader's most difficult task. People naturally resist change, even positive changes. To embrace change, they have to mentally and emotionally embrace a new way of thinking. Afterburner Healthcare events are designed to help them do just that. Afterburner offers several event programs that are highly customized to the healthcare industry including:
- Winning in Fast-Time Though the Pursuit of Flawless Execution: A Strategy for Cultural Change
- The Art of Disclosure
Our most popular Keynote Program. This address provides a high energy multimedia presentation about how fighter pilots operate in a combat environment, and how to apply those lessons to business. Rare cockpit footage and state-of-the-art computer graphics make for a presentation your team will never forget. This keynote covers the Flawless Execution Model:
- Plan: Learn how fighter pilots plan for a mission using the Six Steps to Combat Mission Planning.
- Brief: Learn to communicate the plan so your team can execute flawlessly
- Execute: Eliminate performance draining Task Saturation
- Debrief: Implement nameless/rankless feedback sessions inside your team to guarantee maximum learning
Task Saturation is the #1 productivity killer in business today. In the world of fighter pilots, task saturation can be deadly. In today's fast-paced business environment, it can threaten peoples careers and their businesses. In this keynote you will learn how to spot the signs of this silent killer of productivity. More importantly, you will learn how fighter pilots overcome Task Saturation by employing the three "C"s:
- Checklists: Provide critical guidance in an emergency situation and reinforce your normal daily procedures.
- Crosschecks: Use to help keep you focused during information overload.
- Check Six: Utilize mutual support to guarantee that a wingman is always watching out for you.
Why do the highly talented and motivated team members of so many businesses with a great plan fall short? Because the plan is not properly communicated to those who must execute it. Through the experience of combat, fighter pilots have developed a life-saving, mission-perfecting formula for communicating the plan that we call Brief to Win!
Using our hallmark blend of cutting edge computer graphics and experienced military fighter pilot speakers, we show you how to prepare a high-impact briefing that will quickly improve individual and group execution so your company can rapidly, and successfully, reach its goals.
Your team will see actual footage of a real combat mission briefing and learn firsthand how it's done. The Brief to Win! Keynote is a real wake-up call for even the most highly skilled warriors in your company.
Our most popular, hands-on seminar for corporate management and sales, we show you how the tools employed by American Fighter Pilots can help you plan, execute, debrief, and win in today's fast paced world of business. Using a multimedia presentation, a role-playing breakout session with experienced military Fighter Pilots as facilitators -- and a riveting final hour that some say is the best in the business -- our Afterburner Seminars team takes those tools and seamlessly translates them into your own business environment. Our message? Brief. Execute. Debrief. = Win!!
The Afterburner Day is an interactive, hands-on experience where your team will compare the similar situations faced in business and in air combat. During the Afterburner Day, your group will work side-by-side with some of America's top Fighter Pilots and learn how we excel in the business of combat. Then your "Fighter Pilots" will apply these "real world" lessons directly to your business.
Your 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, via a humorous, tongue-in-cheek briefing, 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 Seminars 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. We will use simulated SCUD missile attacks, intruders, and information overload to closely parallel today's saturating work environment in a fun, new format that ensures a lasting impression.
After utilizing our tools for planning and execution, your team will discover how Fighter Pilots learn from their mistakes through an effective debrief. Our nameless/rankless debriefs shed new light on how your associates can identify and learn from costly mistakes.
Easily described as an abbreviated version of the Afterburner Day program. Differences include:
- Program length is reduced to 2 hours
- Decorations are included at no charge. Due to staff constraints, the client is responisble for decorating the room
- The participants will go through the exact same Mission Planning exercise as the Afterburner Day program
- The Debrief of the Mission Planning exercise is conducted in a General Session lecture format versus the facilitator led breakout sessions held during the Afterburner Day program
- This General Session debrief allows reduced staffing and your cost by approximately 50%
