Summary: flawless execution - james murphy

This work offers a summary of the book "FLAWLESS EXECUTION: Use the Techniques and Systems of America's Fighter Pilots to Perform at Your Peak and Win the Battles of the Business World" by James Murphy.James Murphy is founder and CEO of Afterburner, Inc., a seminar and business consulting firm. Mr. Murphy has served as chief of training for the Georgia Air National Guar and as a combat flight leader with the US Air Force. James Murphy describes flawless execution as "a trainable, learnable repeatable process – bred in military aviation – that improves execution." According to him, there is one thing military organizations do well which general business practice has not yet picked up on. Military organizations carry out extensive briefings before attempting to act and then have systematic debriefs afterwards to figure out what went well and what did not for next time. Briefing and debriefing are areas many businesses are weak at. Flawless execution is all about generating predictable results time and again. Follow Murphy's advice and you will soon realize that your business can take a lesson from the US military's fighter pilots.
