Flawless Execution isn't about perfection, it's about the relentless pursuit of flawless outcomes. This simple, scalable methodology is key to harnessing the power of complexity, according to Afterburner Inc., a team of elite military professionals trained to instruct teams to pursue Flawless Execution.

Members of the group will be on hand to reveal the secrets of flawless outcomes at ISSA/INTERCLEAN 2015 on Wednesday, Oct. 21. Attendees will learn how to reach mission-oriented goals, overcome threats, maintain flexibility and, most importantly, be in full fighter form every single day. Attendees will also see rare cockpit footage and state-of-the-art graphics that will keep them on the edges of their seats.

Founded by U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Jim "Murph" Murphy in 1996, Afterburner trains organizations around the world in the simple, scalable improvement processes of Flawless Execution. Utilized by elite military teams around the world, the Flawless Execution model is a proven success tool for high-stakes missions that allow for zero failure. It integrates sound organizational development and combat-proven methodologies into the processes and actions of all team members. The result is a refined process that produces achievable goals and, ultimately, a successful outcome.

Afterburner's team has a powerful mix of combat experience combined with extensive business skills. Many members are graduates of top business schools and academies.

Flawless Execution is dynamic and powerful because it is simple to use, yet the effects are lasting. The results are disciplined, coordinated and predictable. Afterburner says your team can improve execution and stay one step ahead of the competition in four simple steps.

The Afterburner team has trained more than 100 Fortune 500 companies on the Flawless Execution Model. Afterburner has also been on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies twice.

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 — Communicate the plan. It is essential that people on the front lines know the leadership's exact expectations. 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 appropriate resources, people still must manage conflicting priorities. As Task Saturation increases, performance decreases; therefore, Afterburner assists teams in combating 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 occurred. They then take the key lessons learned from the Debrief and apply them to the next plan. Debriefing speeds up learning. It fine tunes the processes that ensure success.
