Europe's Very Own Formula for Productivity Innovation & Efficiency

‘A bad day at the racetrack beats a good day at the office’. Well, you can bring the racetrack into the office. After all, what better way to talk about productivity and innovation than with reference to something that is:
•	Uniquely European in nature
•	Reflects an obsession with performance and innovation. 
•	Driven by passion and excitement, as well as engineering excellence, amazing talent and global marketing. 
We are, of course, talking about F1™.  It is Europe’s very own formula for accelerating productivity, innovation and efficiency.  Moreover, it has never been more important than today.

Welcome

Imagine a driver who was reluctant to pull the car into the pit lane they don't believe that it will help them to win. They don't believe they have to pick team that's required to make the car go faster. This is the concept behind an exploration of the second major Ingredient of team performance and productivity.

Section 3: The Way We Interact

The shape of the race car has real relevance to leaders, their strategies and the teams charged with making them happen. The driver points the nose cone of the car where they want to go – ahead of the next car and towards the finishing line. The focus is clear. All the power at the back of the car is channeled in a funnel right up through the nose of the car – in one clear direction. If only the same principles applied in organizations, their strategies and teams.

Section 4: THE WAY WE PRIORITIZE

Travelling at 300 km ph the driver can’t take their eyes off the road for even a second! Part of the solution to communicating performance data mid-race is a Pitboard held out as drivers speed by. The pitboard's BIG numbers reveal performance data that helps the driver to win. Now image the pitboard for a leader and their team.

Section 5: The Leadership Pitboard

Imagine your team working with the speed, intensity and performance of a pit team. Here we explore what it might look like and (using the latest leadership research) how it can be achieved.

Section 2: The Way We Work

What is it going to take to bring your strategy to life? Given the level of ambition involved, the standard approach is unlikely to be enough. It is going to take a Super Project to make it happen!

Welcome to the BETA version, we are leveraging technology to make the super projects research available faster and more widely (at this pre-release stage).  The goal is to share the outputs with those leaders who helped shape it.
