Building Trust and Buy-In for More Reliable Capital Project Schedules
Many common misconceptions about complex construction schedules stem from a lack of trust. In this video, Nate St. John, Vice President of Schedule & Risk at InEight, explains why schedules are often seen as inaccurate or unreliable and what it takes to change that perception.
Improving trust starts by lowering the barrier to entry. Scheduling tools must be easy to use and accessible to all stakeholders. Teams also need to be invited into the process so they can contribute and take ownership. As participation increases, accountability follows, building confidence in the schedule and its value.
By improving usability, encouraging participation, and fostering accountability, organizations can strengthen collaboration and create a culture where construction schedules are trusted and actively used.
