Organizational consequence
The Agents Are Not the Bottleneck. You Are.
Agentic systems reduce the marginal cost of execution while increasing the potential rate of unresolved decisions. Once execution becomes cheap, human attention becomes the limiting resource.

Organizational consequence
The Agents Are Not the Bottleneck. You Are.
