You don’t have a people problem. You have a handoff problem.
The estimator knew about the long-lead item. The PM found out in week six. The field found out when it didn’t show up. Nobody was lazy. The information just had nowhere to go.
→ Sales to estimating: does the scope match what was sold?
→ Estimating to PM: does the budget carry the assumptions?
→ PM to field: does the super see the same plan?
→ Field to billing: does the change order get priced, or eaten?
Fixing operations means finding the exact desk where the job gets dropped and closing that gap. Not a binder. One connected system the whole team actually uses, holding one record of the job from the first call to the final invoice.
