This week on Capital D, we reconvene on the Design Executive Council stage with design leaders Benedikt Lehnert and Kaaren Hanson joined by our host, Gordon Ching, Founder and CEO of the Design Executive Council, to explore the human impact of design.
In this episode, we examine the growing role of AI in design leadership and the fine line between efficiency and over-reliance. From automating performance reviews to streamlining compliance, AI is making decisions easier—but at what cost? Are design leaders outsourcing too much of the critical thinking that shapes teams, creativity, and innovation?
Join us as we unpack the risks, rewards, and responsibilities of AI-driven leadership in the design world. Tune in as we navigate this evolving space and define what should and should not be outsourced in the AI era.
