The IxDF Course Certificate above is awarded to Hariharan K in formal recognition of their coursework surpassing the rigorous benchmarks of exceptional performance established by the IxDF Educational Codex.
Hariharan K has mastered how to:
- Manage a product’s path of use from launch onward to keep it relevant, valuable, and repeatedly used over time.
- Design specifically for adoption by reducing barriers, building trust, and motivating first-time use.
- Encourage adoption through launch and early-user strategy by supporting early adopters and reaching critical mass.
- Design for appropriation so people can adapt a product to their own goals, contexts, and workflows.
- Expand a product’s customer base through appropriation design by enabling multiple use cases and personal value creation.
- Evaluate adoption and appropriation potential in existing interfaces by identifying friction, missing value cues, and trust gaps.
- Improve adoption outcomes using social and economic drivers such as network effects, incentives, and social systems.
- Learn from product launch successes and failures by analyzing patterns that predict sustained use and advocacy.
