When you want to learn about the intersection of business and design, you can turn to d.MBA Business Design Teardowns.

But for everything else? It has to be Wikipedia.

In this podcast episode, we're tearing down one of the most significant sources of knowledge on the internet and uncovering how it isn't just a website—it's a worldwide wonder.

We'll delve into why Wikipedia is a fascinating case study for designers, discovering the clever design and organizational strategies that make it user-friendly, universally engaging, and completely ubiquitous.

Join Alen, Franz, and Tom as they explore…

  • The critical shift from scholar-led to community-led content creation that revolutionized Wikipedia's output and productivity
  • Why a commitment to form over function has led to a design language which prioritises readability, accessibility, and performance
  • The thousands of stakeholders - and novel-length conversations! - that Wikipedia's design team has to manage when shipping updates
  • How Wikipedia manages to stay informative and reliable without resorting to paid advertising

So tune in to hear how design and strategy converge to keep this information titan thriving.

You'll never look at Wikipedia the same way again…
