Just heard a foreman say 'the software is only as good as the guy putting the numbers in'

I was at a supplier last week and overheard a foreman from a big local crew talking about their new project management tool. He said his crew still writes daily notes on paper first because they don't trust everyone to enter data right into the tablet on site. Has anyone else run into this kind of pushback when trying to get a whole team to switch over?

Sounds like a normal learning curve. People always resist new systems at first.

Read this article about how our brains are literally wired to fight new routines. It's not just being stubborn, it's a physical thing in our heads that makes change feel like a threat. The learning curve is real but the resistance is too, it's built into how we work. Makes you wonder if we blame people for being difficult when it's just biology.
