Ep.1462 - Japan series - Lean is an evolution, not always a revolution

Everybody wants instant pudding. But real improvement? That takes time.

In this Japan Series episode, Jason breaks down one of the most misunderstood truths about lean: it's not a quick fix, it's a lifelong evolution.

Through stories of Japanese temple builders who plan 200 years ahead, and lessons from Deming and Toyota, Jason explains why lasting excellence doesn't come from one big "revolution," but from consistent, long-term commitment to improvement.

Still, there's a catch. Before you can evolve, you have to start on the right foundation. That means installing the right operating systems, Takt, Last Planner, and First Planner, fast and decisively.

Revolution builds the baseline. Evolution keeps it growing.

If you lead a construction company or project and you're ready to build something that actually lasts, this episode will show you how to do it.

Listen now and start playing the long game.
