Why Human-Centered Design is Crucial for Digital Transformation

In a world where technology evolves faster than most of us can keep up, digital transformation has become a non-negotiable for businesses aiming to stay relevant. But here’s the catch: technology alone doesn’t guarantee success. At Viderity, we’ve seen firsthand that the most effective transformations happen when people—not just systems—are at the heart of the process.
