Listen "Ep.68 - Segment Your Forces - War Series #1"
Episode Synopsis
Segmenting your forces is how you build a nimble project team that can adapt fast, protect the schedule, and stop getting trapped by one rigid plan. In this episode, Jason shares field stories like bypassing slab on grade with a ready Plan B, splitting a long-span deck to recover critical path work, and breaking massive huddles into smaller functional groups that actually execute. You'll hear why specialized crews and segmented leadership units outperform "one big crew," and how autonomy plus alignment creates real operational control. If you want speed, adaptability, and options when the job gets tight, this concept will change how you organize your people. What you'll learn in this episode: Why you need Plan A, B, C, D, E, and F and how options protect the schedule How segmented crews and specialized forces improve consistency and productivity How to break big huddles and teams into smaller, nimble units without losing alignment Why decentralizing control helps projects and companies scale faster How Napoleon's strategy shows the danger of "one perfect plan" and one slow, rigid force Where are you relying on one big plan and one big team when you should be segmenting your forces and building real options?
