Designing Experiences That People Want to Use

AI is transforming business, but the real challenge lies in the "last mile"—getting people to actively use and embrace the technology.

Too often, there’s an assumption that if we build advanced AI systems, users will naturally adopt them. In reality, even the most technically robust tools can fail if they don’t solve the right problems in the right way—aligned with how people actually work, think, interact, and make decisions.

Are You Hitting a Wall with AI Adoption?

You invested in AI to drive transformation, streamline operations, and stay ahead of the curve. But instead of momentum, you may be hearing concerns like:

You invested in AI to drive transformation, streamline operations, and stay ahead of the curve. But instead of momentum, you may be hearing concerns like:

My team is overwhelmed by yet another new tool.

This doesn’t fit the way we actually work.

We’re not seeing the efficiency gains we expected.

Things feel more complicated, not less.

Our competitors seem to be making AI work—why aren’t we?

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. The majority of AI initiatives struggle in the last mile—not because the technology doesn’t work, but because the human experience wasn’t fully considered.

These objections are more than complaints; they cost you real money – missed opportunities, operational inefficiencies, and a widening gap between you and your competition.
