[ID Discuss] Convention versus innovation

[Pabini Gabriel-Petit]

Hi Sandeep

I agree with what Andrei Herisimchuk said about validating innovation design
solutions through usability testing. There is one powerful appeal you can
make to the product management people on your team: product differentiation.
It's where they live. Also, innovative designs are usually the ones that win
awards. So, if you're working with some forward-thinking people who trust
you, you should be able to persuade them to let you innovate.

Sandeep Jain asked:
How does one go about convincing non-designer, decision makers
