In this 60-minute session, Lennart Hennings, VP of User Experience at SAP LeanIX, will dive deep into how a real product organization actually designs with AI – and designs for it.
This is a hands-on session, not a keynote. Expect a few cases explained in detail. First, research: a framework of AI skills that helps the org do more focused research. Second, design in code: a setup of Claude Skills and design-system MCP tools that lets designers write code and ship real, system-correct artifacts themselves. The boundary between design and engineering blurs – designers stop handing off screens and start building things. And engineers can use design knowledge via skill.s
From there, Lennart looks at where this is heading: designing for AI through conversational and agentic interfaces, where the product surface is no longer a screen at all.
This session is aimed at product managers, UX designers, and researchers who want a concrete, honest look at how AI changes their craft in practice – not a forecast of tools, but a look under the hood of a team already doing the work.
