TODD TAKES
- The Power of "Slow Down to Speed Up" in Construction: In an industry with tight margins and countless moving parts, adopting the principle of “slow down to speed up” is essential. Taking time to strategically plan and think through the most efficient processes allows teams to work smarter and avoid costly errors down the line.
- Empowering Frontline Workers for Meaningful Change: Incorporating ideas from frontline workers into the continuous improvement process is a game-changer. Not only does this foster their buy-in for changes, but it also ensures the solutions directly address day-to-day challenges, leading to more impactful and practical improvements.
- Checking Egos for Genuine Innovation: Innovation and process improvement require a team-wide effort to leave egos at the door. Success comes from consciously pursuing better methods and being open to adopting the ideas and strategies that drive true progress, even if they challenge the status quo.
