Elevate Construction Ep.1495 - Honey I Shrunk the Kids
This episode uses a simple but powerful analogy to explain why so many construction teams struggle to solve the right problems. Jason Schroeder walks through the idea of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" to show how lack of visibility creates confusion, misalignment, and missed opportunities for team genius.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why construction stress increases when work is invisible and disconnected.
- How visual systems unlock better conversations and smarter problem-solving.
- Why lean systems only work when people can actually see the plan.
- How bird's-eye views replace miscommunication with clarity and alignment.
- What practical questions leaders should ask to improve visibility on every project.
If your team is capable but overwhelmed, ask yourself this: what would change if everyone could truly see the work the same way?
