Senior leaders love to tell me about their inspired visions for their enterprise, but complain that they can’t get the rank-and-file to go along.

Because you are living in the age of information overload and, unless you are in a coma, traction, or jail, you are very likely feeling overwhelmed much of the time. Or as the White Rabbit put it, "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date.".
How many people can you meet in your lifetime, and could you potentially keep in touch with? Hundreds? Thousands? Millions?

Gain Better User Adoption the Design Thinking Way. People tend to resist change when change means altering or replacing existing norms of doing things. A new system might fail when users do not accept it even though the system might be effective. Adoption, or lack thereof dictates just how effective a new way of doing things is or isn’t. At the same time, an inefficient system might create value among users if users decide to adopt it.
