A lesson from 1856
Henry Bessemer turned
days into minutes.
His process transformed steel production forever. Your weekly status report shouldn't take longer than Victorian-era manufacturing.
The Bessemer Process
The invention that built the modern world
Before 1856
Days
Making high-quality steel was painstaking, expensive, and time-consuming. Skilled craftsmen worked for days to produce small quantities.
After Bessemer
Minutes
Blow oxygen through molten iron. Impurities burn off. High-quality steel in minutes. Same output. Fraction of the time.
Sound familiar?
Steel Production (1855)
- Heat the iron manually
- Work it by hand for hours
- Remove impurities one by one
- Shape and refine repeatedly
- Hope it meets quality standards
Status Reports (Today)
- Export data from P6
- Clean it up in Excel
- Build charts one by one
- Format and align repeatedly
- Hope nothing got copy-pasted wrong
The Bessemer Process didn't make steelworkers obsolete.
It let them build skyscrapers instead of sweating over furnaces.
SlideStrike does the same for project managers.
