Summary
Most problems that look like people problems (or technical problems, or strategy problems) are actually wiring problems. The incentives point the wrong direction. The accountability gap doesn't have an owner. The structure wasn't built for what you're now trying to do. This talk is about developing the instinct to read the system underneath a problem before reacting to its surface, and what that skill looks like in practice as AI changes what teams do, roles blur, and the margin for course-correction shrinks. The audience will walk away with a different diagnostic habit and a clearer sense of what engineering, or increasingly cross-functional, leadership actually demands right now.
