51 | Your Project Team's Primary Job
Manage episode 343649489 series 3298146
Many projects seem to fall victim to the same issues: Team members arguing about the budget or schedule. Owners feeling as if the contractors are trying to take advantage of them. Contractors and subs feeling like they're not being treated fairly. Designers feeling that their designs are not being honored, etc. The issues pile up over time, until you're left with a failed project and no clear idea as to where it all went wrong.
In today's episode of The Lead With Trust Show, Sue offers some insights into how these issues can be addressed and how flexibility can be built into the process to allow for unknowns and inevitable changes.
During the episode, Sue discusses the concept of a target budget, an idea born out of the Lean Construction Institute. She walks you through the creation and use of the target budget in your projects to ensure the team can make decisions on how to optimize things as the project moves forward.
Join Sue for part one of this eye-opening discussion around your project team's primary job.
