About the experience

Does your team need to practice “intelligent failure”?
Led by NASCAR Pit Crew Chief Andy Papathanassiou, this experience helps teams understand the concept of permitting intelligent failure only when it’s ‘opportunity-driven’. During the experience, you will conduct two timed trial tire changes on a 29-piece toy car. You will use a NASCAR kit provided by Teamraderie. Your team will learn the concept of finding bottlenecks to performance – and investing (permitting failure) primarily where there’s meaningful opportunity to improve.
Don’t miss this opportunity to practice “intelligent failure”, leaving you with new insights, a feeling of camaraderie, and a revitalized team spirit.

Andy Papathanassiou
Andy Papathanassiou became NASCAR’s first “pit crew coach,” and an original member of Jeff Gordon’s race team in 1992. His philosophy and views as an outsider ultimately shifted the paradigm of how pit crews train their members. Andy employed an athletic mindset which centered on practice and repetition, coaching and review, innovation and process improvement. Collectively, he calls this philosophy, Over the Wall. Andy holds a Bachelor’s in economics and Master’s degree in Sociology, from Stanford University, starting four years on the football team. This athletic career formed the foundation of his disruptive history in professional motorsports.
