Construction delays aren’t just happening in the field—they’re being designed into projects from the start.

By the time teams are dealing with rework, change orders, and coordination issues, the real problem has already happened—during design.

In this Activating Curiosity™ conversation, Ryan Ware sits down with Rob Andrade of Overcast Innovations to explore how siloed design decisions create downstream friction across the construction industry.

Why many construction problems actually start during design
How disconnected teams create rework, delays, and coordination issues
Why solving problems in the field is often too late
How siloed decision-making limits project performance
Why new ideas struggle to gain traction in the AEC industry
How better alignment across teams can reduce friction and improve outcomes

If you’ve ever been on a project that felt harder than it should—or dealt with delays that didn’t make sense—this episode will help you see where those challenges actually begin.

This is where construction leadership and change management intersect. It’s not just about building better—it’s about making better decisions earlier in the process.

This episode is part of Activating Curiosity™, where Ryan Ware explores leadership in change management and helps construction leaders strengthen construction leadership development and lead change in the construction industry with clarity, connection, and confidence.

If your projects are experiencing delays, rework, or constant coordination challenges—this episode is for you.
