Keynote Speaker Gurra Krantz
Grand Prix sailing on the highest level demands clear strategies, resource management and the right skill sets built into the team. Each member must be carefully profiled and tested.
Winning a modern top-level yacht race takes development in the design of the boat, process management to get the build of the boat optimized, and max performance from all team members.
Getting the right mix of people, hardware and support systems to the right level is the key to high performance and success.
Recently, Gurra has also been featured in Kanal 5’s TV series “Over the Atlantic” where he sails across the Atlantic with 6 celebrities and a film crew, next season will be the tenth! Just like the races around the world, people literally live on top of each other under pressure and spartan conditions.
Topics such as preparation, risk, recruiting, personal responsibility, diversity, leadership and teamwork are forming the presentation.
Gurra’s presentation is inspirational and humoristic with clear takeaways. Dramatic video clips and pictures help describe the human aspect in a racing project which is in itself a direct parallel to the business and corporate world.
