Studying super users reveals how they've successfully navigated the adoption curve—from initial experimentation to habit formation—within the unique context and workflows of their organization. By understanding their specific journey and milestones, we can pinpoint critical moments that transform casual users into dedicated adopters, enabling us to replicate and scale this adoption across the company.
