In this episode of Designed to Accelerate, Steph Louis and I sit down with Kenneth Hearn — AVP of Digital Process Automation at Navy Federal Credit Union — to explore how AI is expanding the pool of people who get to ideate within the enterprise, and what that means for the future of solution design.

• Why Kenneth sees AI as a steady evolution rather than a disruption, even after 20 years in the field
• The difference between using AI at "design time" and "run time" and how a regulated bank got AI approved for design work
• Where the Solution Designer role is heading as ideation spreads from IT to the businessNext Steps:1.
