How do you make quality decisions at high speed? What are the dynamics that slow your organization down? What happens when you don’t move quickly enough? How does turmoil in your operating environment slow you down? Having operated in a high-tech fighter aircraft that can reach speeds up to twice the speed of sound, Nicole Malachowsi breaks down how to move efficiently and effectively when your survival and relevance depends on being fast. A popular saying among pilots is “speed is life,” because without enough speed, an airplane is nothing more than an expensive rock. In the business world — especially when technology is involved — speed can be just as crucial, and the organization that moves the fastest realizes the most success. Nicole offers principles that keep any organization functioning smoothly, quickly and efficiently — in times of calm and in times of turmoil. Join us for a unique view into the collaborative mind of an experienced fighter pilot to understand how to keep an organization functioning effectively, and making good decisions at high speed.
