The Human Bottleneck

Why Good Technology Doesn't Change Work

A full room at the Washington State Transit Association conference

You've invested in technology and introduced it to your people. How much has the work actually changed?

A request to use AI lands inside an existing organization. People already know which mistakes get noticed, how performance is judged, and whether there's time to learn. Asking them to experiment while leaving those conditions untouched can put competing demands on the same person.

Jordache draws on AI adoption experience and historical patterns to examine what leaders ask people to change, and what their organizations make possible. Resistance can reveal risks, threatened expertise, or working conditions that deserve attention. Technical and data constraints remain part of the picture.

The keynote gives leaders a way to examine their own part in adoption. It connects that responsibility to practical choices about expectations, learning, and how to judge whether a change is improving the work.
