Business Performance Group

Flight from Savo is designed for supervisors with minimum to moderate experience, but it can also be used as a refresher for more seasoned supervisors.

Theory and Development:

The ability to balance the goals of the organization with the needs of the work group is the common thread that runs through five key supervisory skill dimensions. These dimensions are the focus of Flight from Savo and include:

• Guiding the work: taking the direction of the organization and translating it into actionable plans for the work group
• Organizing the work: assigning people, equipment and tasks to meet work goals
• Developing your staff: actively working to increase the skill level of each employee being supervised
• Managing performance: removing the obstacles to better performance so employees can meet their own and the organization's objectives
• Managing relations: developing and maintaining good relationships with other groups so that the supervisor's employees and the organization meet their goals

How it works:

Presented with a predetermined set of toy parts and charged with building an escape plane, each group elects a supervisor who guides the construction project using the five supervisory skills. A series of "setbacks" and "lucky breaks" both complicates and facilitates the group's work and challenges the supervisor. The simulation ends when the reconstructed plane is deemed airworthy.
