In this episode, Jason tackles a controversial but important topic: the role lawyers and legal teams play in construction delivery systems. While legal professionals are meant to protect companies and guide them safely through risk, Jason explains how certain systems, especially traditional CPM scheduling can unintentionally incentivize conflict, claims, and litigation instead of collaboration and project success. Jason dives into why many organizations resist lean systems like Takt, Last Planner, and Scrum, even when they consistently improve project outcomes. Often, this resistance comes from fear—fear of losing job security, significance, or familiarity with long-standing systems. What you'll learn in this episode:
Jason's message is clear: protecting the status quo isn't leadership helping teams evolve toward better systems.
