“Sean Bugler is Principal Innovation Lead at the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, where he rethinks how teams work, share what they know, and get things done. His specialty is translating what's technically possible into something people can actually build on. That approach produced the agency's first generative AI guidelines and its first innovation bench, a network of 58 firms open to any public agency in the region. He studied Technological Entrepreneurship & Management at Arizona State University, where he now serves as an industry advisor.”
I speak at events about collaboration, productivity, and the future of work – drawing from my experience in government to connect with technologists across industries.
Most of my talks build on a simple idea: the things that make work hard are pretty universal. Whether it's getting people to use a new platform, figuring out where AI fits into actual work, or getting ideas into production, the human dynamics are surprisingly similar no matter where you are.
I share stories about what works, what hasn’t, and why the gap between “this should be simple” and “why is this so hard” almost always comes down to how people actually work, not how we wish they did.
The best conversations happen when folks from different corners realize we're solving the same problems with different constraints. Strip away the jargon and you find we're all just trying to ship things that matter.
