There’s no such thing as a technology problem
Information has become the forgotten half in “information technology”. Tech companies are struggling because they aren’t focusing on the human problems they need to solve.

In my 2018 presentation on understanding tech through the concept of Pace Layer theory, I used the example of those electric scooters as an example of a technology that was experiencing "shearing" as it attempted to jump from one layer to the next, and the lessons that may be taken from that.

If I were to redo the deck today, I think the illustrative tech I'd use are those self-service kiosks in grocery and big box stores. https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-pulling-self-checkout-lanes-from-some-stores-2023-9

Pace layers in experience design — Stabilise innovation by understanding people’s needs
Innovation falls flat when it doesn’t respond to a human need. Use human-centred approaches to understand people’s fundamental motivations and needs. These are the stabilising forces for innovation.
