Everything starts with a sketch

In today’s fast-paced world, we often overlook the power of our origins. At Z Aviation Consulting (ZAV), we understand that every journey starts from a centrepoint, much like the core of a circle, the heart of the solar system, and the precision of the Zulu Time Zone in aviation. The ‘Z’ in ZAV symbolises a centralised platform for comprehensive solutions, representing our unwavering commitment to addressing your diverse needs.

In our competitive and demanding world, the relentless pursuit of success can lead to tunnel vision, causing us to unintentionally neglect the issues in our periphery. Goals shift, making them harder to achieve and gaps emerge unnoticed in our wake.

The solution is simple: step back and sketch your journey from end to start. This basic sketching reveals the impact of each touchpoint on team morale, procedures, policies and the overlooked gaps born from tunnel vision. By filling these gaps, you transform a dotted line into a solid one, akin to a well-engineered blueprint.

These fundamental techniques aren’t groundbreaking; they reside in each of us. At ZAV, we reawaken these basics in our partners, delivering real, tailored solutions for your organisation.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose sight of the fundamentals. At ZAV, we believe that every solution begins with a centrepoint, much like the core of a circle, the heart of the solar system and the precision of the Zulu Time Zone in aviation. We help our clients reconnect with these fundamental principles to uncover innovative solutions.

Overcoming tunnel vision:

In our competitive and fast-paced world, tunnel vision can be a common issue. It causes individuals, departments and organisations to overlook critical issues. As a result, goals may continually shift, making them harder to achieve and unnoticed gaps may emerge along the way.

Sketching the journey:

We advocate stepping back to sketch the journey from your goals back to the starting point. This simple sketch allows you to visualise the impact of each touchpoint on team morale, procedures, policies and the overlooked gaps created by tunnel vision. By addressing these gaps, we help you connect each touchpoint with a solid line, much like a well-structured engineering plan.
