  1. Accessibility as an advantage, not a compliance checkbox

    Accessibility as an advantage, not a compliance checkbox

    Roughly 16% of the global population lives with some form of disability. Yet despite growing awareness and regulatory pressure, 95% of the world's most-visited homepages still fail basic accessibility standards. Inaccessible digital products pose challenges not only for the billions of people living with permanent or short-term disabilities but also for anyone who finds themselves using a device in less-than-ideal conditions, such as bright sunlight.  Accessibility is often treated as a legal burden, an ethical imperative, or even a creative constraint. But done right, it can become a powerful strategic advantage. When organizations make their products and services accessible to all users, they open doors to new audiences, make a positive impact, and strengthen their brand. Tune in to our conversation with Rebecca Pakin, Head of Product Marketing at Accessiway, to explore why inclusive design is simply good design and how accessibility can create value beyond compliance. Key learnings: Understand what digital accessibility means in practiceLearn why accessibility and great design aren't competing prioritiesExplore the most common accessibility failures in digital productsFind out if AI is making accessibility better or worseDiscover what it looks like when accessibility is embedded into company cultureHave feedback or want to recommend a future guest?

    AI gave designers superpowers but they’re misused with Alexander Zeh

    Design teams have never had more raw power. Thanks to AI, prototypes that once took weeks now take hours, and the line between designers and engineers is blurring. But faster execution doesn’t automatically lead to better products. Many teams are simply building the wrong things faster, wasting time, energy, and tokens in the process.   When almost anything can be built, the real challenge becomes deciding what’s actually worth building. That still depends on research, judgment, vision, and the messy upstream work of understanding people.  In this episode of Delivered, Alexander Zeh, Head of Product Design at Manychat, joins us to discuss how design leaders can help teams avoid the trap of mistaking speed for progress. Key learnings: Discover how AI is changing product design and what your focus should beUnderstand the role of the design leader in the AI-accelerated world Learn what the most underrated design leadership skill isFind out why hiring for job titles is the wrong approach, and what to do insteadHave feedback or want to recommend a future guest?

  3. The best project managers are servant leaders with Yann Thézénas

    The best project managers are servant leaders with Yann Thézénas

    Project management has a branding problem. The word ‘manager’ implies authority and control, someone who directs, decides, and delegates from the top. But the best PMs don’t operate like that. They create a safe and productive environment for others to do their best work. In 2026, as teams become more autonomous and AI accelerates delivery, the human dimension of the job matters more than ever. The biggest challenge is applying this philosophy under the pressure of complex projects with multiple teams and stakeholders, and tight deadlines. Yann Thézénas has spent the last decade doing exactly that, across telecom, logistics, SaaS, and international sport. As Senior Digital Projects Expert at FIBA, the world’s governing body for basketball, he faced his biggest test yet: a two-and-a-half-year overhaul of the federation’s global digital ecosystem, coordinating teams across multiple regions for a hard launch at the Paris 2024 Olympics.  In this episode, Yann shares what works, what doesn’t, and why a great PM has more in common with a basketball captain than a traditional manager. Key learnings: Understand what servant leadership means in practiceLearn why knowing what not to build is as important as knowing what to buildFind out how AI is reshaping the PM role, and which part of it will never be automatedDiscover the lessons Yann took away from the biggest project of his careerHave feedback or want to recommend a future guest?

    Modern product thinking inside a 270-year-old brand with Sam McCarthy

    Unlike most tech companies, Sotheby’s doesn’t ship fast and break things. The auction house has been selling rare art and luxury objects for almost 270 years, and their clients expect a white-glove experience at every touchpoint. When your buyer pool is small and consists of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, you can’t afford to lose their trust with a feature rollout that’s a little buggier than it should be. At Sotheby’s, trust took centuries to build. So how do you run a product team inside a company like that? Join our conversation with Sam McCarthy, VP of Product at Sotheby’s, to find out.  Key learnings: Understand the challenges of building complex digital products inside a non-technical, legacy organizationLearn how Sotheby’s balances tradition with the speed of modern product development Discover how Sotheby’s leverages technology to improve client experience and stay aheadFind out what’s most difficult to modernize in a legacy company: systems, processes, or mindsetExplore how Sotheby’s leverages AI and data to track artworks and verify provenance across decadesHave feedback or want to recommend a future guest?

    ZEST: Framework for design leaders

    In this episode of Delivered, Joost Huver shares ZEST, a practical cheat sheet born from his decade-long journey from junior designer to design director.

If you’re a designer stepping into leadership, or already there, wondering if you’re doing it right, this conversation offers something rare: An honest reflection on 13 years of trial and error, and a practical leadership lens built from the studio floor, not the boardroom. Key learnings: Explore four dimensions of creative leadership that the ZEST framework is built onLearn practical ways to apply the ZEST framework in your daily workDiscover small leadership habits that compound into a strong creative cultureFind out how to hire for taste and look beyond industry awardsHave feedback or want to recommend a future guest?
