Mastering Purpose-Driven Product Design: From

Description

Too many products are built with strong engineering but weak resonance. They solve abstract problems but fail to connect with users on an emotional or practical level. This leads to low adoption, wasted resources, and missed opportunities to create lasting value. The gap isn’t in skill, it’s in intention. Without a clear 'why', even the best features fall flat.
