Welcome everybody out to podcast number one zero nine zero. In this podcast I'm going to talk about seeing everything on one page, stay with us. This is the Elevate Construction podcast, delivering remarkable content for workers, leaders, and companies in construction wanting to take their next step. 

Get ready to step out of your comfort zone with Jason Schroeder as he encourages you to do better, live a remarkable life, and expect more. Let's go. Welcome everyone, I hope you're doing well and having a good time out there.

Like I said, I'm writing the first planner system book and really focused in that direction, going to get some reviews out to the public here pretty soon. I really appreciate all of our viewers and I know you're gonna love this book, so pretty soon we're gonna have the first planner, oh my gosh, I did, I also didn't tell you this. I've gone through and done all the edits for the second revision of the TACT planning book and it's got new content, new pages, a lot of updates for based on requests that we've gotten before of things that would make it easier for people to utilize the book and then we're almost done with the first planner system book and the outline is done for TACT steering and control. 

So this year is going to be a big year, I'm super excited about it and I've already got a date actually to start recording some of the other text focus books that don't have all the visuals, so I'm pretty jacked here. Let me read some feedback from our listeners and then I'll get right into it. Hi Jason, in the TACT fundamentals course you're offering in a few weeks, how deep do you dive into the TACT control and execution piece? I really want to deep dive into that and wondering if this is the right course to take. 

Also, I write, well first of all, yes, we do a deep dive into that. Also, I read your latest TACT book that came out in October and in it you mentioned plans for volume two around TACT steering and control. When do you anticipate that book hitting the market? By the way, your books are great.

I've delivered probably 50 plus TACT presentations and always promote your books. I've probably sold over a hundred of them by now. TACT is taking hold of such and such company and it will soon become a full time job to ramp it up across the company with three plus calls a week from jobs around the country. 

Asking for coaching on TACT, I can no longer maintain my regional lean manager role and support all of the TACT needs. I also don't want to ramp up too fast due to a lack of TACT skilled resources. So we may have some teams calling on you for consulting help. 

We've got 15 plus jobs at various phases of using TACT so far and the results have been outstanding. Thank you for promoting this across the industry. Wow, that's awesome. 

By the way, I didn't mention the company, but this is a massive company and the results speak for themselves. I love it. Okay, let's get right into it. 

By the way, it's funny how everything like all lines. I'm excited about what is happening in our industry. I cannot wait for everything to scale the way that I know it is going to scale. 

So the podcast tonight is about seeing it on one page and I had an aha moment. I haven't covered this before. I haven't and why did I say that? I said that because I have talked about A3s before, but I haven't talked about it like this. 

There's such a, so I talk mostly when it comes to TACT and production systems about the benefits of the system and the production science and all that other stuff, you know, blah, blah, blah. Everybody gets bored from it with me, by the way. But if all of that was gone, you would still be remarkable because you can see it on one page. 

It puts the plan on one page. It puts it in a field of view. And if any of you old timers who used to have a set of plans in front of you where you could flip back and forth with your fingers and quickly understand the drawings and highlight them have gone from that where you essentially, because of the format, have hundreds of drawings right in front of you at the fastest you could possibly view them in context and had to go to reviewing drawings online, you'll realize that being constrained by being constrained in your ability to see the overall picture really hurts you. 

A lot of the a lot of us old timers used to read drawings and had the full field of view right in front of us and then had to switch online where it's like click on this and click on this and you feel disconnected and it's not all right in front of you have kind of given up a little bit on, you know, reading drawings online. Some of you, you know, have raised up that way. You don't know any different. 

I'm just saying that there is a definite difference in your comprehension and ability to visualize and problem solve when your field of view changes. So in that little analogy, I had, you know, all of the plan sets in my fingers, all like essentially in one frame, quickly accessible to me. And then I go online and I feel disconnected. 

Now, do I have I use Bluebeam in the past? Yes. Do I like plans online? Yes. On iPad? Yes. 

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that it's there's a very big difference from being able to see it all in your field of view and having it disconnected. Now, hopefully that wasn't too far off in the wrong direction. 

But your schedule is the same thing. And I was thinking like a tax plan puts everything on one page for you to be able to see it, put it in context, understand it and visualize it in 4D actually. And it hit me. 

And I've never talked about this before. What are all of the things that we put on one page so that we can enable humans? Okay, I've already talked about A3s, which is a A3 is a paper size where you put your problem solving on to one sheet so a person can see everything on one page, right? A tax plan, obviously, lift drawings, which are which is a drawing basically when you can, when you put it on one page, or a small packet, but it's it's consulted the the you want a component per page, ideally, and you pull it from your different drawings, architectural, structural, mechanical plumbing, shop drawings, you know, codes, authorities having jurisdiction owner desires, you pull all of this information onto one sheet so the carpenters can see it. Okay, another one are infographics. 

And nowadays, when you want somebody to comprehend something, you you combine it all and put it on to an infographic one sheet, cheat sheets is another one, shop drawings simplify even shop drawing simplify contract drawing information for the benefit of the trains calendar something I hadn't even thought about before, pull the timeline onto one sheet, Kanban boards, right and, and scrum boards pull out all the information onto one sheet, dashboards, pull data, key performance indicators and other metrics onto one sheet. And so I could keep going but the bottom line is all of these things are designed to enable the human capacity to understand and problem solve. And it's absolutely genius. 

And so if you didn't, like all of the other nerdy stuff about tact, consider the power of being able to see it on one page. It's absolutely amazing. Because you're able to do that, you're able to grasp the entire project, see problems, prevent them and work with your teams. 

So I just want you to know, I could never be a project executive or director again, or a general superintendent or field director, or an owner of a company and properly understand where my projects were, unless I saw everything on one page. And so I just want you to think here's a challenge for you. What are some other things that are designed to enable human beings by putting them on one page and enhancing human capacity. 

I thought this was a really interesting topic. And I hope it wasn't a waste of your time. Remember, we're always just expanding our minds here and becoming lean thinkers.
