In this video conversation, Doug Mouton draws on his experience leading complex programs at Meta, Microsoft, and Jacobs to explain how the industry’s top-performing teams plan, adapt, and deliver data center projects when uncertainty threatens schedules, resources, and execution.
Mouton discusses how collaborative, lean planning, big room planning, and a culture of psychological safety unlock honest conversations about what is really happening on site.
By treating construction as an “educated guess” that is constantly sharpened with real production data, Mouton explains how teams can build smarter plans, avoid painful surprises, and deliver better projects.
He also makes it clear that technology only creates value when it is built on a shared, trusted process, backed by strong leadership and field-level buy-in.
