The most engaging learning happens at the edge of comfort. If a task is too easy, students coast in boredom. If it’s too hard, they withdraw in frustration. The sweet spot is where friction sharpens focus. It’s where effort is required, but success still feels possible. Psychologists call this the “zone of proximal development.” Athletes call it “the edge.” Game designers call it “flow.” Whatever the name, the principle is universal. A challenge can create engagement when it demands just enough effort without crushing your spirit. You can see this any time you play a video game, or watch students play a game. If a game is too easy, the players become bored and lose interest because there is no sense of growth or achievement. If it's too hard, the repeated failures become frustrating and feel insurmountable, causing players to quit. The 80–85% window is the "sweet spot" that avoids both extremes.

Doing so will allow them to guide their organizations through the profound changes required to realize the technology’s full potential.
