Failure on race day due to wiring gremlins is not an uncommon issue at some levels, but with the time and money that goes into running a professional level vehicle at events all over the globe it is inexcusable.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inLuckily there are people like Chris Paton of 12 Volt Performance out there to build motorsport specific looms that allow for the extra heat, fluids and wear that a dedicated motorsport car will see much more of compared to your average car or even performance streetcar. At the latest World Time Attack Challenge we were lucky enough to have a chat with Chris about what goes into looms like that of the Tilton Interiors/Racing EVO V2 Time Attack car and how you can progress from general automotive wiring into motorsport specific applications.Also discussed are some of the main point of differences between a general automotive loom and a motorsport specific variant including a quick break down on the advantages of Tefzel wiring compared to TXL which you will find in almost all street cars along with how in the past it has been difficult to find solid resources beyond pictures to help learn and build such a skillset.Also touched on is the cost of the materials and tooling required for professional-level looms, but for the end result it is certainly worth it. Concentric twisting is also discussed along with the detail that goes into planning your braid in order to benefit from the strain relief and flexibility of such a technique but not at the cost of added weight from poor planning and excess filler wires. What are filler wires you ask? Chris also explains this along with how before a single wire is cut everything the car will run not just now but also in the future plans is mapped out in the car and measured to ensure there are no mistakes and no need for extra additions to the loom in the future which are difficult at best and add a higher chance of failure.With 20 to 40 hours going into an engine loom/harness it is certainly worth the time and effort to plan ahead and use the best materials for the application first time around in this game. The 1200HP, 42PSI, 2.2L 4G63 powered Tilton EVO V2 also had a successful weekend at WTAC with a 1st place in Pro-Am and 3rd in Pro which is a credit to Chris and the rest of the large team behind builds like this, which went from bare chassis to the track in only 3 months.Want to learn more about motorsport wiring?

When the future is so uncertain, how do marketing agencies plan? Take a leaf out of the military's playbook and wargame, that's how. In this episode, Chris Paton from Quirk Solutions talks through how to use scenario planning and stress tests to model out different versions of the future.

Gavin talks to speaker and Managing Director, Chris Paton, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the Royal Marines, about the things we can be doing right now, in order to prepare ourselves for life after lockdown. KEY TAKEAWAYS No matter what profession we’re in, everyone’s routine has been completely disrupted in this unprecedented moment. Day one of “normality” will feel completely alien to most people. Stress levels are on the rise due to people worrying about what might take place, when in reality we can only control the things within our power. We are naturally data gatherers, taking in as much data as possible and drawing conclusions. The problem is that there is too much to consider, and leaves us feeling confused and conflicted. It’s vital we adapt our businesses to face not the world we’re leaving behind, but the one we’re facing in the future. We need to plan for this remarkably different global landscape, or we risk being left behind. True leaders will consider the ways in which their businesses can grow. They will consider training and development as priorities so as to better equip their team with newfound vigour. BEST MOMENTS ‘We’re creatures of habit. We settle into our habits and routines’ ‘Ask better questions!’ ’This period is ideal to take advantage of training’ ‘Business, commercial, or military leadership, is about making decisions' VALUABLE RESOURCES   The Business Mastermind Podcast  Chris Paton LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-paton-quirk-solutions/?originalSubdomain=uk Quirk Solutions - https://www.quirksolutions.co.uk/team/chris-paton/ Quirk Twitter - www.twitter.com/quirk_solutions ABOUT THE HOST   Gavin Preston   Gavin is an inspirational Speaker, Business Strategist, Business Growth Mentor, Trainer and high-performance Coach.  He works with Business Owners and Entrepreneurs and has a strong track record in creating creative strategies to accelerate the growth of their business.

He was also an advisor to the Cabinet and the National Security Council on Afghan strategy. He currently lectures at London Business School for the executive education programme. In this in-depth conversation, Chris argues that businesses need to be less hierarchical and invest more in training to succeed, explains why adhering to tried and tested strategies is often a recipe for disaster, and describes the seven interconnected disciplines that provide the framework for success – whether you’re running a start-up or a multinational.

Chris bridges the gap between military and commercial life and talks to us about leading with vulnerability, stress testing the strategic planning process and closed-loop communication.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. In the first new show of 2019, Fisher shares with David his first big find of the new year… a treasure trove of family newspaper stories from the 1920s and 1930s. David has also already had a major discovery. Hear what it is. David then shares a hilarious post he recently found… a parody of an ancestor from 1852 and his resolutions meant to keep any descendant from ever finding him. The guys then acknowledge the recent passing of the oldest living World War II vet, a Texas man. Next, David talks about a man who recently bought a building and discovered history newsreel footage in the basement. Hear the remarkable events they documented. David’s Blogger Spotlight this week shines on Chris Paton of BritishGenes.blogspot.com. The Genes Blog covers a lot about the release of recent Scottish Records. Next up… Fisher visits with Chris Harry of Gainesville, Florida. Chris recently wrote an article about a Facebook message his family recently received from a stranger sharing a video of his father on a 1952 game show. Chris still doesn’t know the stranger’s identity. Fisher then visits with Brenda Johnson of Legacy Tree Genealogists. Brenda recently blogged about digitized newspapers… “her passion”… and how to make the most of a journey to a digitized newspaper site. She and Fisher talk about various tricks to ensure you find all the articles that might be relevant to your family on the site. Rick Voight is back this week from show sponsor Vivid-Pix. Fisher chats with him about a project he undertook over the holidays to upgrade some of his favorite family photos. He really put the RESTORE software through the paces. Hear what Rick has to say about how it works. Then, Tom Perry, the Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com, is amped up over the recent CES in Las Vegas. What new tech might be in store for us? Tom will surely have some ideas. That’s all this week on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show!

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Chris Paton (2 weeks before he had a brain tumor removed - see notes below which are published with Chris’s permission). Chris is the founder and Managing Director of Quirk Solutions, a company that specializes in delivering Business Wargaming to many organizations. Chris was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Royal Marines and an advisor to the Cabinet and National Security Council on Afghan strategy, and he leverages the wargaming he learned as a tool to pressure test and evaluate business plans before committing resources into action. Listen in to learn more about how you can lead stress testing in your organization to strengthen your plans and execution.   Emails we received from Chris - this is one tough hombre - and hope this inspires you as much as did us...   Feb 7 - Date show was recorded   Feb 24 - date of Chris’s surgery - his comments below right after surgery:   Hi Jan & Jim. All done. Feeling a bit rubbish and just recovering from anaesthetic now, but thanks to your kind thoughts and prayers have come out the other side of surgery ok.   Won't know more re how cancerous/benign it is for 2-3 weeks but already feeling up for the fight.   Whatever it is; It picked on the wrong dude.....   You know me; not about to let this get in the way of what I want to do.   Really hope I smash the ball out of the park for you.   Looking forward to hearing what you come up with as a title. Will cheer up a few days in hospital!   Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I'm out of immediate danger and now turning my energy back against my opponent!   March 9 As it happens, we had some amazing news this morning. The results of the biopsy are back and not only did they get all of the tumour out, but it seems it was totally benign and there's no risk of cancer at all.   Big smiles this side of the pond!   God bless,   Key Takeaways [3:21] In the Royal Marines, Chris co-authored an article on planning in fluid situations. That led to talks and consulting, and he realized he had something important to contribute to the corporate world. He left the military to create a business planning consultancy. At each point of a client strategy, Chris would pressure test it to find gaps and weaknesses. He would also pressure test the options he delivered. [6:24] Chris started to have clients create more of the strategy, with more self-reliance; more responsibility for their own planning. Chris ‘blew on the embers,’ with pressure tests, to add the real value to the planning process. [7:56] Military people go into business, aware that the consequences of getting something wrong are so catastrophic, that they don’t want to engage with it. Because of that, they spend a lot of time preparing to get it right for the actual action. Corporations sometimes just give it a whirl, to see what happens. Military will not do that, because the cost of failure is too great. [11:05] Chris runs sessions three ways. The first is a pure pressure test. The second is to train the people to run their own tests. The third is to train the trainer, to do it independently. The pressure test is oriented around a Blue idea team and a Red critical team. The Red are the people who will be affected by the plan. Blue runs the ideas like game plays against Red team. An umpire facilitates the wargame. [17:38] Matthew Syed, in Black Box Thinking, suggests an evolutionary process of trying and testing, failing, trying, and testing. Chris combines that with technical expertise, to start with a good initial plan. All affected parties are needed. Executives arguing against executives will not find all problems. [19:54] One cause of organizational blind spots is always recruiting people to be a good fit. Over time they end up recruiting very similar people, who see things the same way. Another blind spot is wilful blindness, from fear of the awful consequence of failure. Chris insists organizations draw from their own experiences in solving these challenges, for buy-in, using him as a safety net. [24:50] Representatives of every affected group are in the room, and the facilitator urges them to use their voice to discuss all aspects of the plan. It’s about giving people a platform to critique the plans positively, and be a critical friend: “I get where you’re trying to go, but if we did it slightly differently, we’d probably have more success.” [26:17] A leader who is too controlling causes paralysis by fear among employees. By giving people permission to fail, leaders reduce the instances of failure. A leader can humbly say, “I don’t have all the answers; you’re going to have to help me. I will make the decision, but I need you to provide me with the expertise to help me make the right decision, at the right time, and in the right place.” [30:44] Chris hires people who want to contribute and make a difference. To deliver the workshops they must be ex-military, but Chris also requires three years of challenging commercial experience before he will hire them. They need to have engagement, warmth and openness. They are connected, and engaged, and Chris rewards them. [34:55] Chris has a story from his early business days that still makes his toes curl. One of the corporate Blue team members gaver a great presentation of his segment, but when challenged, was unable to defend it, because he didn’t have a good grasp of it. The Red team was recruited to generate ideas, and Chris learned that he needed to pre-qualify all the presenters for competence before pressure testing. [39:50] Chris, 40 when he started, had no previous business experience, but had a mortgage and teenage children. He relies on his wife and family to sustain him in his entrepreneurial journey. Chris also asked clients for testimonial support, which they supplied freely. That was invigorating for him. Chris also finds strength volunteering at CHICKS, a week-long outdoor experience for disadvantaged children.   Books Mentioned in This Episode Black Box Thinking: Why Most People Never Learn from Their Mistakes--But Some Do, by Matthew Syed The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, by Stephen R. Covey "How the UK's Royal Marines Plan in the Face of Uncertainty," by Arnoud Franken, Chris Paton, and Simon Rogers   Bio In his former career, Chris was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Royal Marines and advisor to the Cabinet and National Security Council on the Afghan strategy. He was responsible for the design of the drawdown of the UK presence in Afghanistan. He saw active service in a wide range of places including Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Georgia and Afghanistan. In 2010, Chris co-authored a HBR article on planning in fluid situations. This then led to his leaving the military to create Quirk Solutions Ltd. Chris has worked with BUPA, Heineken, Standard Life Investments, Shell and a wide range of SME businesses. He uses his leadership, strategy and planning experience to give organisations increased coherency, direction and efficiency. Chris is also one of the UK’s premier exponents of Business Wargaming; stress testing plans to identify risks and opportunities. Bi-lingual in French and with a Masters Degree in International Liaison and Communication, Chris also provides French-speaking performance consultancy to clients. Chris Paton is an extraordinary polymath. His exceptional intellect and leadership skill set is faultless and is combined, in his new career, with an empathy to deliver, which at once inspires as much as it educates. Chris is an avid rugby man, as well as many outdoor sports, trying to surf, and expending vast amounts of futile effort trying to make his garden look presentable.
