What happens when we design intuitive, simple solutions — but users still don't adopt them? In this talk, we’ll explore why a well-designed product isn't always enough to create the real change we want to achieve. I'll share how organizational workflows, incentives, and internal structures often determine the success or failure of a solution. By expanding our perspective beyond product usability and into organizational systems, we can create real, lasting impact.
