Sinopse

We hear all the time that the Construction Industry is broken. People then try to innovate to fix it. But what kind of innovations have the most impact? What happens when an organization wants to take on the challenge of shifting the entire construction industry? Is there a chance for it to thrive, or will it collapse?  This is the core of my discussion with Brian Potter in this week's Construction Genius podcast episode. Brian worked for Katerra, a billion-dollar construction startup which recently filed bankruptcy. We explore what Katerra did right and where they've gone wrong, ultimately leading to its fall. Brian also shares why it's challenging to integrate the construction industry from top to bottom and how things could have been done differently.  This is an interesting episode that you can learn from.
