Can the user-centricity culture add be leveraged to help a team at a particular time?
A team that does not value user-centricity will likely design things that are difficult or unpleasant for others to use. A person who deeply cares about user-centricity, on the other hand, would design things with the intention of making them enjoyable and easy to use. This would be a positive change for the team, as it would strengthen their user-centricity culture.
