This episode gets real about why good delivery models go bad. Jason breaks down the traps that derail IPD, Design-Build, and CM at Risk, and shows how systems thinking, flow, and true collaboration keep projects on track.
Key points:
- The “competitive design proposal” trap burns millions and cannibalizes unpaid design.
- Phased design without a full kit leads to rework: missing sleeves, embeds, blue bangers, and chaos.
- If it violates Goldratt’s Rules of Flow, it will fail no matter the contract wrapper.
- Deming’s lesson: we fail despite best efforts when we don’t think in systems.
- Stop sub-optimizing and start collaborating across teams, trades, and tech.
- Update your playbooks continuously instead of treating methods as frozen versions.
If you want delivery models that actually deliver, build the system first, protect flow, and make collaboration non-negotiable.
