# Last 100 Feet


## Posts

- [The Operator Who Knew](https://last100feet.com/the-operator-who-knew/): A capital request was already in the queue. An operator's 45-second change to a changeover cut downtime by 70%. Why plants miss what the floor already knows.
- [Why I Wrote The Execution Gap](https://last100feet.com/why-i-wrote-the-execution-gap/): Manufacturing transformations rarely fail in the strategy or the technology. They fail in the last 100 feet, where the plan meets the shift. Here is why I wrote a book about that gap, and where to start closing it on your own floor.
- [Execution Is Still the Strategy](https://last100feet.com/execution-is-still-the-strategy/): Every new technology promises to make strategy a solved problem. Every time, the gap comes back to the same thing: whether the organization can execute.
- [Nobody Gets Fired for Buying the Tool](https://last100feet.com/nobody-gets-fired-for-buying-the-tool/): Why do smart leadership teams keep buying capability instead of building execution? Because buying is safe and building is exposed.
- [The Real Cost of Pilot Fatigue](https://last100feet.com/pilot-fatigue/): Organizations don't fail from a lack of initiatives. They fail from too many incomplete ones, and from what each stalled initiative teaches people.
- [Why MES Implementations Fail](https://last100feet.com/why-mes-implementations-fail/): The system goes live, the vendor heads to the airport, and six months later operators are back to clipboards. It's never the technology. It's three things that compound.
- [What Good Looks Like on Day 90](https://last100feet.com/100-day-plan-day-90/): Most 100-day plans are built around initiatives, not indicators. The ones that deliver start with one question: what does good look like on Day 90, and how will we know?
