Great question. Let me give you a quick answer.
You’ve invested in speed, and AI is fast, yet somehow a decision still takes weeks. I bet your bottleneck isn’t technical. It almost never is.
Trust determines speed, and trust is the one thing you cannot buy. When trust is low, everything slows down. Your people check with three others before deciding. Nobody wants to own the risk. Work gets redone again and again and again, but that was always happening. AI just exposed it.
Once the technology speeds up, the human bottleneck becomes impossible to ignore. So we need to ask different questions. Who really owns the decision? How many decisions does it actually take? And does your approval still add value, or does it just add time?
