Ep.1351 - How to Innovate w/ Standards

When Standardization Goes Too Far Is your company's push for standardization stopping you from innovating? In this episode, I respond to a superintendent whose new tool could improve project meetings but might not fit management's "everything the same" policy. We'll talk about the difference between a standard as a baseline versus a cap, how to frame your case to leadership, and why the best companies keep raising their standards instead of locking them in place. I also share my own experience pushing back when corporate tried to dictate my job site processes and how I still got the results my projects needed. If you're stuck between following the rules and improving your work, this episode will show you how to find the win-win and what to do if leadership won't even consider it.   If you like the Elevate Construction podcast, please subscribe for free and you'll never miss an episode.  And if you really like the Elevate Construction podcast, I'd appreciate you telling a friend (Maybe even two 😊).   Also, here are links to our YouTube Channels: · Jason Schroeder YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4xpRYvrW5Op5Ckxs4vDGDg · LeanTakt YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/leanTakt · LeanSuper YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzQDevqQP19L4LePuqma3Fg/featured · LeanSurvey YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Ztn3okFhyB_3p5nmMKnsw
