Why Every Project Needs a “Situation Room”
In this episode, Jason Schroeder introduces a game-changing idea for modern construction: the Situation Room - a centralized command space to monitor, plan, and respond in real-time.
Inspired by legendary builds like the Empire State Building and Boulder Dam, Jason makes the case for creating dedicated rooms where project leaders aren’t just reacting, they're orchestrating. From macro Takt plans and KPIs to 3D models and comms access, this isn’t just a conference room, it’s a mission control for your project.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
-
What a Situation Room is (and what it’s not).
-
How it can radically reduce communication lag and improve flow.
-
Why this approach is essential for both in-person and remote project leadership.
-
The real-world tech setup and layout to make it work on-site.
