ICT Ep 2.17 Borrowing the F1 Playbook: What Formula One Gets Right That Clinical Trials Don't

What makes a truly high-performing team?Inspired by the precision of Formula One pit crews, where the difference between winning and losing is measured in milliseconds, Ted and Liam explore what clinical trial teams can learn from elite performance environments.Ted outlines six principles that drive high-performing teams: clear objectives, defined roles, mapped processes, and a culture of continuous improvement. Liam draws on his experience in professional sport to reflect on why teams that truly operate at that level are rarer than we think, and why clinical trials are no exception.The episode leaves listeners with one question: what if we did the debrief before the problem existed?
