From Lights Off to Lights On: Discussion of Wiring the

Steven Spear, co-author of Wiring the Winning Organization joins a panel of AEC professionals to discuss how the ideas in his book apply to design and construction. This is an opportunity to take a deeper dive into a new theory of performance and management and explore how to continue our understanding and application of lean practices.

Drawing on decades of meticulous research of high-performing organizations and cross-population surveys of tens of thousands of employees, award-winning authors Gene Kim and Dr. Steven J. Spear introduce a groundbreaking new theory of organizational management. Organizations win by using three mechanisms to slowify, simplify, and amplify, which systematically moves problem-solving from high-risk danger zones to low-risk winning zones.

Wiring the Winning Organization shines an investigative light on some of the most famous organizations, including Toyota, Amazon, Apple, and NASA, revealing how leaders create the social wiring that enables exceptional results.

This is not feel-good inspiration or armchair philosophy but a data-driven prescriptive playbook for creating excellence grounded in real-world results and proven theory. This is the rare business book that delivers concrete tools - not platitudes - to convert mediocrity into mastery
