Mucking around in boats...
We spend a lot of time on the water mucking around in boats. One thing that is obvious in trying to get a boat to its destination at the right time is that there are numerous external influences that will make it hard, throw you off course, introduce new challenges, possibly even sink it. However the biggest impediment to arriving at your destination is one you can control - the people in the boat, and the equipment you take with you. If the person on the helm knows where they are going, but the crew doesn’t, then they will not trim the sails to achieve the right course, and no amount of great steering will help. Potentially even more challenging is when the person on the helm is also unclear on where they are going, or even just the best route to take, then the crew has no idea how to help and get the boat to its destination safely and in good shape. If your “equipment” (brand, structure, processes, IT, products etc.) is faulty, or not up to the journey you are on, then even great crew work is rarely going to lead to those awesome results we are often chasing.
On-Course is about helping the helm and the crew work together to identify what the right direction is and get your boat heading that way, with the right amount of sail for the conditions.
