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.
