Ron Crabtree speaks with Michael Carroll about how outsourcing can break the learning loop, how lost experience increases operational risk, and why digitizing work without transforming decision rights creates latency. They discuss mapping high-inference and high-permission points, starting with the decision rather than the technology, distinguishing information transfer from changes that carry responsibility, and using guardrails and a decision ledger to improve the path from signal to action.
