In this episode, Jason Schroeder explains why most companies struggle with flow when they're organized around departments and what changes when you reorganize people around value streams instead. He shows how "department islands" create handoff friction, local efficiency, and competing priorities, while value-stream organization aligns business development, pre-con, operations, and support functions around what the customer actually needs delivered. The result is better flow, clearer ownership, repeatable systems, and performance metrics that measure the end-to-end outcome, not just how busy each department is.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Where in your company are people optimized for department "efficiency," when what you really need is flow all the way to the customer and the field?
