Todd Takes
- I’m going to start off by recognizing a fact that can tend to get lost with innovators. Change is hard. Innovation creates disruption which brings about change that someone is not going to like. We need to recognize this more than we do. Now, it doesn’t mean we stop innovating. I believe through recognizing that we are able to actually do more if we lead with empathy.
- On a related point, don’t feel you have to eat the whole elephant at once. It is a good idea to test something and grow from there. Clay mentioned that it is easier to dip your toes in the Industrialized Construction waters than most people realize. Ask yourself what the next right thing is and go from there.
- Finally, are you invested in continual improvement? It is a mindset shift to be successful. Also, it is ok to actually become more inefficient when starting a new process. In fact, you are more than likely going to be more inefficient in the short term. However, stay the course on leverage your creativity to solve the systemic issues to maximize your efforts. The ROI and efficiencies will snowball and grow.
