Ep.1132 - Lean Principles from the Rules of Flow, Feat. Dr. Efrat Goldratt-Ashlag
From Multitasking Myths to Flow Based Success in Construction
Why do so many projects stall, burn out crews, and miss deadlines despite everyone “working hard”? The answer might shock you: multitasking and too many open work fronts.
In this episode, Jason Schroeder sits down with Dr. Efrat Goldratt-Aschlag, co-author of Goldratt’s Rules of Flow and daughter of Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt (author of The Goal), to unpack the principles that are transforming projects worldwide. Together, they dive into:
· Why multitasking is the #1 time killer in projects and what to do instead.
· The Full Kit principle, how to stop crews from starting unready work and finally finish faster.
· The power of gates to ensure work is truly ready before it moves forward.
· Real-world success stories from U.S. high-rises to Japan’s disaster recovery proving these methods deliver.
· The keys to training and growth that keep both people and organizations thriving.
If you’ve ever been told to “push harder” when a project is late, this episode will flip that thinking on its head. Speed doesn’t come from panic it comes from preparation, focus, and flow.
