What Problem Does This Solve?

Send us Fan Mail We explore why organizations rush toward new tech, convinced that shiny equipment will solve their deepest problems when often the issues are fundamentally about training, judgment, and decision-making. • The Boeing 737 MAX case study demonstrates how technological "fixes" without proper training led to catastrophic failures • Most resource decisions are reactive, not strategic, with organizations buying gear instead of investing in people • Tools are the default solution because they offer tangible ROI, political safety, and avoid accountability for leadership • Technology enhances execution after a decision has been made but doesn't affect whether the decision itself was appropriate • Training operates "left of bang" by teaching when to act and how to assess situations, regardless of available tools • The critical question: "If you removed all your high-speed gear, would your people still make good decisions?" • The real ROI comes from developing good judgment under pressure, not from acquiring more equipment • Rather than measuring success by resources spent, focus on measurable outcomes and performance improvements Don't forget to check out our Patreon channel for additional content and subscriber-only episodes.
