“Will it make the boat go faster?” quickly became part of our language in almost every conversation across the business. As a result, we waste less time and effort on things that won’t help us to achieve our goal and more time on the things that will.
The impact on our business from working with the ‘Will It?’ team has been transformational. As a leadership team, we have arrived at a series of goals that we are all fully committed to, and which now serve as the North Star of our business. Achieving that is easier said than done. The ‘Will It?’ team bring depth and substance but are able to deliver in an easy-going and informal manner. They have become trusted partners and a source of invaluable support. Our ‘Will It?’ experience has also drilled down across the entire company, ensuring each and every one of our employees benefit from its impact. I cannot recommend the ‘Will It?’ team enough. Professional, committed, thoroughly good at what they do and always fun to work with.

It’s really transformed how the business communicates. It’s surpassed all of my expectations.
We had no goal and no single unifying thought. I wanted the opportunity to galvanise everyone. The Crazy Goal is everything we stand for as a brand. We use it in our recruitment, including our assessment centres, we use it throughout our training and how we recognise and reward people, and we rolled it out as comprehensively as we could. We were on a journey and the Crazy Goal replays over the longer term.
Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? enabled us to break down the barriers & misconceptions surrounding personal development. Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? delivered everything that we’d hoped for in our endeavor to attaining clarity on our strategy, goals and culture. Tom’s two facilitated workshops were the highlight of our engagement and exceeded all of my expectations. Inspirational.
We engaged the ‘Will It?’ team as we set our goals for the next chapter of the business. The setup interviews gave us an in-depth understanding of our business and the people within it. The workshops enabled us to structure our thinking, define and refine our aspiration, and focus our ambitions. The follow up ‘momentum’ sessions have ensured we have stayed on track and played an
important role in our success. We have found the ‘Will It?’ team engaging to work with and enabledus to tap into a wealth of experience that has helped us drive the business forwards. We can’t thank the team enough.

In less than 12 hours from arriving on site we had a unifying purpose and Crazy goal that the wider leadership team had bought into and was committed to achieving. Three months later there is a material change in the way we work together, the questions we ask one another and the standards to which we hold each other.
The question “Will it make the boat go faster” rings out around all of the sites.
The work myself and the senior team have recently completed with WIMTBGF? has been transformational in the effect it has had on our teamwork, focus and performance. I had my doubts as to what impact we would achieve working virtually but our two days together – an engaging and productive online Leadership Team Workout- surpassed all my expectations. This is yet another example of how Will It? are making a difference to our business.
