In sailing, as in business, the only constant is fast, fluid and disruptive change.

This drama has been playing out on the nightly news, in the headlines and in our own and client organizations for weeks, months, years. Failed leadership, lack of vision, inability to anticipate or adapt to a perpetually dynamic operating environment.

American organizations - academic and governmental institutions, associations, corporations and not-for-profit organizations - are fighting to remain competitive. In some cases, they’re fighting just to stay in the game.

This is no time to be singing Kumbai. As a matter of survival, individual organizations and indeed entire industries are desperate to instill a sense of urgency, coherence and cohesion in their leadership, their staff and in their vendors and partners. This is where the Corporate VMG concept comes into play. The dynamic environment that is wreaking havoc on businesses and communities is the playground for sailors. Using sailing as a means of teaching new mindsets and behaviors is experiential play at it’s most immersive - and engaging.

The Corporate VMG premise is simple: sailing is the single most effective means of teaching leaders, teams and individuals and stakeholders the critical skills required to contribute to an organization’s success in navigating what is shaping up to be the perfect storm.

That’s our operating environment, as we see it. If that’s your reality and your priority is building an enterprise capable of thriving in this environment, we welcome the opportunity to partner with you.
