Planning and Execution Process

  • Team Performance
    Teams are split into small groups of 4-6 people. Each
    team plans and executes a mission in the simulators.
    After the initial attempt, the team meets for debriefing,
    and looks for ways to improve results.
    This program emphasizes all aspects of teamwork, from
    working together, moving forward as a unit, and
    collective improvement.
  • Individual Performance
    In this workshop, your team experiences the debrief methodology, an air force methodology credited with driving excellence in air forces around the world.
    Participants are initially briefed on how to fly the F-35 and receive their mission. When their mission is complete, they come to the debriefing room, where they are equipped with the tools they need to significantly improve results in their second flight.
    Upon completing their second flight, your team measures improvement between the first and second attempt.
 

CREATING A SUSTAINABLE PROCESS

There are six steps to our management process, beginning with defining the
mission to implementing lessons learned from the process and applying it to
new future missions. This process embeds a culture of continuous
improvement within the organization.

Mission

Not every mission is well defined, and goals are often incomplete. Learn how to define your missions as concretely as possible by defining the goals of the mission and the milestones that must be completed to achieve those goals.

Prioritization

Develop skills to help identify priorities toward completing a mission. Learn how to identify the “must win battles” and determine which tasks need to be completed first. We often recommend analyzing the process in reverse order to identify the different tasks and milestones that are required to reach your goals.

Challenges

Understand the keys to success and the main challenges you will face. Learn how to identify the challenges and opportunities involved in the mission, as well as the tools you have to overcome challenges and take advantage of opportunities.

Alternatives

Learn how to develop alternate paths to success. Encouraging team members to think creatively about different ways to reach your goal is an important skill for an effective leader.

“What if” Planning

The more detailed your plan, the more likely you are to achieve success. However, devoting time to planning for uncertainty will help you be ready in the event of an unpredictable surprise.

Getting Organized

Use organizational tools to ensure that your team is on the same page and everyone understands the keys to success.

Workshop structure

From the Cockpit to Your Organization. We shift the focus from the flight simulator
experience to real-world applications based on lessons learned in the cockpit.

  • Introduction
    The workshop beings with a short introduction followed by a flight briefing.
  • Debriefing
    Following the first flight, participants have a short debriefing before being sent off in teams to plan and execute a new mission
  • Planning and Execution
    The second mission’s planning session and execution forms the foundation for the processing session
  • Processing
    - Analyze the team’s performance during planning and execution. - Map the strengths and weaknesses of the team. - Identify what elements are required for excellent planning, and what are the primary gaps facing the team.

The Squadron Methodology

The Squadron’s proprietary methodology is adapted for business from one of the world’s most elite organizations. The Squadron instructors are IAF pilots, and former US Navy, Marine and Air Force fighter pilots and commanders who like executives, lead high stakes situations often without clear information and in real-time, fluid environments.
