Trains and Tracks

Acela made news this week with a new “high-speed” train that…drum roll…was actually slower than the existing trains running the same route. The train itself has upgrade technology and equipment but the tracks, infrastructure, signaling areas and cross-ways, etc are still in many instances outdated and in need of repairs. The connection to our work? If the the underlying systems are not built to receive, maintain and sustain change - then the change sought is likely to be immaterial — or worse — actually worse.
