Mission Excellence speakers offer tangible and practical insights into execution, risk and high performance, based on extensive hard-won experience both from operating businesses and consulting to global corporations, in addition to previous military careers in leadership and planning roles, and also as fighter pilots and members of The Red Arrows.

Who's It For?
Mission Excellence speakers present worldwide to audiences ranging from global leadership groups to sales executives to afterdinner guests, and have previously delivered to the Institute of Directors' Annual Convention and also at 'Leaders in Dubai' alongside Kofi Annan and Sir Richard Branson.

Keynotes are available on a range of performance related issues including 'High Performance Teams', 'Leading the High Performance Team', 'Teamwork in High Risk Environments', and 'Matrix or Virtual Teams'. All are supported by unique cockpit video footage.

Key themes include:
* Sustainability of performance through embedded behaviours and processes
* Selection for the high performance team
* Planning and contingency planning
* Execution - defeating information overload l Debriefing - video case study

In addition, the presentation on Matrix Teams focuses on inter-team working, challenging preconceptions on what it takes for constantly evolving cross-functional and/or virtual teams
