In this episode of C&F Talks, we explore what it means to truly design for the mind—specifically, for neurodivergent minds working with complex data environments. Our UX expert sits down with Dr. Michał Tomczak, Associate Professor and a pioneer of neurodiversity research in management, to discuss how companies can use emotion tracking to build more inclusive, user-aligned digital solutions. From BI dashboards to data-heavy internal platforms, the tools we use every day often assume a single way of thinking. But what happens when those assumptions leave some users behind? This episode breaks down how organizations can spot and eliminate cognitive friction—especially for neurodivergent employees—by translating emotional insights into better design decisions. We consider the the bigger picture: how prepared businesses really are to support neurodivergent talent, and how workplace culture and digital infrastructure must evolve together.
