In this episode, Jason uses the blunt image of skinning a cat to make a point that keeps tripping up the companies he works with: doing something is not the same as doing it well. He walks through his process mapping work, where teams keep answering yes we do that, when the real question is whether the process actually works. Using color coded sticky notes and a scale of one to ten, he shows how huddles, procurement logs, and cleanliness routines often look complete while barely functioning underneath. It is a sharp reminder to stop measuring effort and start measuring effectiveness.
What you'll learn in this episode:
The next time you say we already do that about a process on your project, ask yourself honestly whether you are measuring the effort you put in or the result it is actually producing.
