Ever seen a Formula 1 pit crew in action? These guys are absolutely nuts! And they’ve improved over the past seventy years to an incredible degree. The video below shows how a mid-Formula-1-race pit repair has evolved from a 4-person team performing a 60-second operation to a flurry of techs getting a car ready to hit the road in less than two seconds! This is a wildly impressive feat; sure, each person getting their job done in under two seconds is insane, but the coordination of the task is nothing short of jaw-dropping. How do they do this?
I’m sure that most of us know how to fill up a gas tank. I’m sure many of us can remove and replace a car tire. And some of us can probably even diagnose a specific engine issue and even repair it. But to do any one of these things in less than 2 seconds is an incredibly nuanced and practiced act that demands skill, consistency and even a sense of rhythm from everyone involved in the procedure. This job demands thorough and accurate communication between the driver and the pit crew, and it also demands confident and knowledgeable action from every one of the crewmen. But probably the most important thing this requires is coordination. Every pit member must be incredibly skilled and fast with each one of the tasks for which they are responsible, because at the end of the race, every fraction of every second counts.
The above video shows viewers an evolution in practice methods with a massive focus on coordination. Each member of the crew must be hand-chosen for each specific task, and they’ve got to be the best of the available crewmen for the job. The lesson that can be taken from Formula 1 pit crews is fairly simple, but incredibly effective: specializing talents and coordinating the best workers to do their best work in the least amount of time makes the pit crew almost as inspiring as the race itself. Coordination is the key to turning this chaotic flurry of action into a ridiculously efficient dance of productivity—and that dance can be the difference between Silver and Gold. Omega Morphosis recognizes the art of not only selecting the best of the best of the best to do the job, but also the finely-tuned coordination such a task requires. Four men in sixty seconds to twenty men in less than two—this is arguably the truest form of efficiency, it’s a model for how the best businesses in the world are run, and Omega Morphosis aims to be just as vigorous in producing the results needed to seize the Gold in whatever area of learning a person seeks.
