The Complexity Reduction Workshop for Enterprise UX

Simplify complex enterprise workflows without losing the power users need.

About this session

Enterprise tools often collapse under the weight of feature creep, yet removing functionality risks alienating the expert users who rely on it. This session provides a structured way to identify redundant steps and consolidate workflows without stripping away essential power. You will leave with a documented roadmap for simplifying the interface while maintaining the technical utility required for complex tasks.

Why it works

The process forces a distinction between necessary complexity and interface clutter by requiring participants to justify every stage of a user journey. By moving from individual critique to collective prioritization, it breaks the stalemate where every feature is deemed too critical to change, ensuring simplifications are based on functional requirements rather than subjective design preferences.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic
