Right. But if you're a soulless manager, and you set faster timelines, you PIP and fire the people who don't make it. They'll use the tools or be replaced.
It's the same as an AI mandate, except less stupid. (It can still be stupid if you set the timelines impossibly fast, but management is not known for being smart or informed)
I wouldn't do this as me because I'm not a soulless manager.
