Episode notes
Real Lean Takes Time
- Lean is never instant pudding; meaningful transformation takes time and sustained effort.
- In construction, full company alignment typically appears in 18–24 months, not overnight.
Start With Three Core Systems
- Implement the three core systems: first planner, tag production rhythm, and last planner with steering control.
- Treat these as the minimum foundation before adding practices like Scrum or advanced work packaging.
Leadership Must Own The Operating System
- Scaling requires a clear operating system owned by leadership and universal training.
- Monthly field walks by competent people are required to ensure projects implement the system.
