Afterburner, Inc.
Afterburner.com
Afterburner, Inc. was founded in 1996 by James D. Murphy, a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, who realized the applicability and value to business of the process management tools he learned in the ‘zero tolerance for error’ world of military aviation. Since then, Afterburner has presented a more effective continuous improvement model (known as Flawless Execution℠) to thousands of companies around the world, revolutionizing the way they do business.
Afterburner’s highly skilled keynote speakers and consultants have trained over 1.5 million managers and executives in these simple, scalable, continuous improvement processes. This model was developed from our team members’ experiences in business as well as strategic and tactical military execution. Afterburner’s client list includes over 23% of the U.S. Fortune 500, and many clients in the Global Fortune 1000. The company also has a global footprint with offices in Australia, Europe, and is currently setting up operations in Asia.
Afterburner has landed on Inc. Magazine’s “Inc. 500 List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies” twice and has been featured regularly in publications that include the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Financial Times, Newsweek, and Meetings and Conventions Magazine. Afterburner has appeared on CNN, CNBC, Fox News, and Bloomberg News, and Murphy has been named one of Atlanta’s top 50 entrepreneurs by Catalyst Magazine. He is also the author of Business Is Combat, now in its third printing, and his latest book, Flawless Execution. Afterburner has spoken at the world’s most notable business schools, including Harvard, Wharton, Cornell, Emory and Duke.
Afterburner delivers its Flawless Execution℠ continuous improvement tools to clients through its Three E’s – Empower, Equip and Embed. Empower includes keynote speeches and the legendary “Afterburner Day” team-building experience. Equip, however, provides training, consulting, and software services through a variety of business process management tools, resources, and methods. In addition to individual consulting, the company provides train-the-trainer style multi-day courses through its Flawless Execution University (FLEX U) and on-site workshops that focus on integrating an effective continuous improvement model into an organization. Embed is a strategic human capital placement service for elite military professionals transitioning from military to civilian careers. Once Afterburner’s candidates complete training and are certified to leverage the Flawless Execution Model℠, the Embed program places candidates with Afterburner’s partners and clients.
