How to encourage innovation and drive resilience across your operations.  

Shaun Cooney, Field CTO, Splunk chats with Piers Thynne, Chief Operating Officer at McLaren F1

Conversations about technology and its implementation matter. However, you won’t be able to harness its full potential without also investing in the efficiency, curiosity, and culture of your team. 

I had the pleasure of speaking with Piers Thynne, COO of McLaren F1, about some of the strategies its teams employ to stay as agile as the sports cars they create. We discussed all aspects of operations at McLaren, including the more than 17,000 parts that go into each car, the data that supports manufacturing, the data used for planning to ensure on-time delivery, and the potential risk to health working in such a high-pressure environment.

Some of the insights shared include rejecting blame culture and embracing failures as learning opportunities so your team has the freedom they need to be curious and innovate. As a leader, it is critical for your teams to keep their eye on the prize and remember it’s all about delivering a high-performing product and that every day is a day to learn. This one isn’t to be missed!

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
