Why Your Team Ignores Your New AI Tool (And the Four Design Fixes That Change It)
Description and use
<p>The most common way an AI rollout dies inside a small business is quiet. The tool doesn't crash, doesn't throw errors, doesn't make anyone angry enough to complain. It just sits there while people drift back to doing things the way they did before. Six weeks after the launch email, you're paying for seats nobody opens.</p> <p>The reflex fix is more training: another walkthrough, another memo, another "let me know if you need help." That targets the wrong problem. When people don't use a capable tool, it's almost never because they don't know how. It's because the tool was set up — where it
