Olympic level performance in hospitality? 🥇 Shared experience from experts in other sectors and industries can be hugely beneficial in driving progression and performance. There are excellent examples from International Olympic Committee – IOC cycling to World rugby where insights have been used to drive business and personal performance - think Dave Brailsford and Mclaren. At JW Lees Brewery I was lucky enough to meet and hear from the esteemed Olympic psychologist Steve Bull, who had a very positive impact on my personal development and how I worked with my marketing team. This week, my colleague, Elbha Purcell, took the expert view from another Olympic expert, the Technical Lead Dietician at the UK Sports Institute. 👇 And, of course there was much to learn. From my perspective, Nigel made me think more about the need for all of us to reduce ultra processed foods and move to real foods. Also, the benefits that are obtainable from technology, to improve food tracking, reassurance and accuracy; technology can provide valuable support. So how would we translate this into hospitality and food service?  These are increasingly becoming high performance environments. Against a backdrop of high food costs, increasing labour costs and the need for healthier menus, technology can save time, improve accuracy and be used to improve the guest experience. More than that - when you want the best teams to compete at the highest level - technology can be used to take away some of the manual admin, freeing teams in food dev, ops and marketing to do what they do best; from my experience making happier teams and more productive teams. (I know a few chefs who would love to pan fry their laptop rather than start another Excel spreadsheet.) Enjoy watching the Olympics, this weekend it is truly inspiring to watch elite athletes from all walks of life giving their all, striving for their best, backed by incredible support teams.
