United Airline’s Accessibility Journey
In this presentation, Tanseela Molani, Design Research Manager and Accessibility Lead at Chicago’s very own United Airlines, outlines the journey towards an integrated accessibility program across all digital interactions with customers, including remediating two transactional and informational channels. The result was an award-winning website with major improvements to its website accessibility, particularly for visitors using screen readers. This extra effort, above and beyond that needed just for accessibility compliance, made the company’s site one of the easiest to access and use in the airline industry.

Presenting to Decision Makers
The job of design includes working with decision makers, collaborating to accomplish business goals. Building a shared understanding of abstract concepts, and complex decisions are as important to a designer’s success as the quality of their work. Relying on rationale and persuasive powers to get support for that work leads to unpredictable and frequently unproductive outcomes. Effective strategies use a broader spectrum of tactics to start collaboration, get buy-in and share knowledge.
Reliable presentation strategies have emerged from years of observation and experimentation in a wide array of situations. Learn to create a presentation strategy, identify purposeful details, and handle difficult moments. Be more successful by using work presentations as an opportunity to connect and make progress.
