PSR The Next Generation Part 3, With Sonia Bot And John Orr

In Part 3, the conclusion of our series on “PSR 2.0,” Sonia Bot and
John Orr discuss their systematic and modern approach for
delivering value while taking Precision Scheduled Railroading to
the next logical steps in its evolution: Precision Scheduled
Transportation, pushing the envelope now and in the future toward a
major shift in thinking and delivering an integrated transportation
system. “When you share objectives, your overall value increases;
taking a shared systematic approach for implementing PSR 2.0
ensures low risk, high gain and least cost. Start with the end
state in mind, in this case, the future vision of PSR 2.0. Then
assess the current state to establish the starting position. In
well-defined value-added iterations, the journey to the future
vision progresses. It’s an iterative journey, with new discoveries
or entry of new forces that could not have been predicted. Knowing
when to pivot—and having the organizational capability to do so—are
key, as progression on the familiar, comfortable path is
self-limiting and counterproductive. Each railroad and ecosystem
partner must follow this progression according to their respective
timing and pace of adoption.”
