Adoption is.
Technology companies have spent years competing on what they can build. As AI capability spreads, the harder problem is human: getting customers, and your own teams, to trust what you’ve built and change how they work.
“The companies building AI will learn that capability is no longer the constraint; human adoption is. They will start hiring for judgment, curiosity and self-directed learning the way they once hired for code, and the leaders who can build trust around change will become their scarcest talent.”
Glenn Llopis’s projection from Conviction Over Code, Volume 2 of The Conviction Papers (2026). A projection, not a research finding.
Technology moves through four stages inside any organization, yours or your customer’s. Most investment goes into the first. Most value is lost between the second and the fourth.
The capability exists and works.
People try it because they were told to.
People rely on it because they believe it helps them do their work.
How people work is different because of it.
Stages three and four are human work. That is where we help.
Teams that build tools for the rest of the world are often living through constant reorganization, new priorities and shifting roles of their own.
We work with the leaders responsible for getting people, inside and outside the company, to change how they work.
Customers adopt what they trust. Trust is easier to build outside when people inside have it.
