The Decision Bottleneck:

Rebuilding L&D for a World of Infinite Answers.

Founder of Scott Provence Consulting

Author of Fail to Learn

Scott Provence is joining us as a keynote speaker at the 2026 Utah ATD Learning Insights Conference with The Decision Bottleneck: Rebuilding L&D for a World of Infinite Answers.

Scott will challenge us to stop treating AI adoption as simply a technology or training problem.

When AI makes prediction cheap, the uniquely human work shifts toward judgment: deciding which rules matter, which boundaries are flexible, and when a different path is worth exploring.

Together, we'll examine:

- Why new technology can initially reduce productivity
- How approval systems designed for scarce information can slow decisions in an age of abundant answers
- How L&D can replace rigid processes with clear guardrails and safe spaces for experimentation
- What it could look like to measure decision quality instead of content consumption

The future of L&D is not teaching people one correct path. It is helping them make sound decisions when possible paths are nearly infinite.
