Slide 13: Technical Capabilities That Enable Adoption

Successful adoption requires building capabilities that users need:

GRACEFUL DEGRADATION & RAPID RECOVERY

  • Systems fail safely and recover quickly
  • Partial capability maintained during failures
  • Rapid reconstitution after disruption
  • Adoption Impact: Users trust system reliability
  • Enables voluntary adoption in mission-critical contexts
  • Critical for environments where failure isn't an option
  • Users confident the system won't leave them stranded

SCALABLE DEPLOYMENT

  • Deployable across diverse environments
  • Minimal infrastructure requirements
  • Edge computing capabilities where needed
  • Adoption Impact: Deployable in user environments
  • Reduces adoption friction (physical infrastructure)
  • Goes where users operate, not vice versa
  • Enables distributed adoption across organizations

RESILIENT OPERATIONS

  • Maintains capability in degraded conditions
  • Intelligent local processing
  • Resilient communications and sync
  • Adoption Impact: Works where users operate
  • Essential for user voluntary adoption in challenging environments
  • Addresses real operational constraints
  • Users don't have to change where/how they work

KEY INSIGHT:

These aren't just technical capabilities - they're adoption enablers. When technology works in user environments and fits user workflows, voluntary adoption follows naturally.

Visual

Graceful degradation & rapid recovery
Users trust the system because it fails safely and recovers quickly.
Scalable deployment
Deploy where users operate, reducing infrastructure friction.
Resilient operations
Works in degraded conditions so users don’t need workarounds.
Speaker notes
  • "Notice these are all user-facing capabilities"
  • "Graceful degradation = users don't lose trust when things fail"
  • "Scalable deployment = we go where the users are, not vice versa"
  • "These design choices enable voluntary adoption by removing barriers"
  • "This connects back to our architecture approaches - these capabilities influence which approach we choose"

Transition: "But how do we know if adoption actually succeeded? We need the right metrics - and they're not what you might think."
