Description

Seven responsibilities of the captain of your ship applied to the senior superintendent. Ship must be stocked before anyone boards. Teams must function at all fractal levels. People must be trained. Systems must be working. Know where the ship is going, how to get there daily, and keep the ship afloat.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Stock the ship: superintendent owns procurement, not PM or PE, materials aligned to Takt rhythm weekly
• Teams at all fractal levels: every department area and crew must be high functioning, not just leadership
• Train your people: captain does not blame the admiral for untrained crew, it is your job
• Systems must work: logistics safety quality last planner parking all must function with backups
• Keep ship afloat: MS Estonia bow door failure analogy, three or four failing trades overloads team and sinks project

Project leaders that are not productively paranoid to know when they are getting in trouble are going to get in trouble and sink the ship.
