A reference in the world of design and product, creator of La Conf Qui Tue Le Game, and a key contributor to the rise of user- and product-centered culture at France Télévisions for over 10 years, Michael Baeyens (“Mitch”) is currently National Director of Product and Design Practices at eXalt, leading a community of more than 200 product and design professionals (since June 2024).

Following the success of Human After All — closing keynote at UX Conf 2023 (800+ attendees) and subsequently performed 8 times across France for a total audience of over 3,500 — Mitch established himself as a distinctive voice on the ethical, cultural and strategic impacts of AI, drawing a parallel between the career of Daft Punk and our relationship with automation, robotics and generative systems.

Since then, he has created and delivered two major conferences:

UI0 – Interface Zero: The Rise of Invisible Products in the Age of AI,
an exploration of how AI agents are reshaping product design by shifting from user-facing interfaces to products designed for agent-consumers. The talk examines the deep impact of this paradigm shift on design and product roles, methods and responsibilities. UI0 has been presented more than 16 times across France and internationally (including LPC Paris and PMF Zurich), reaching over 8,000 attendees and generating more than 8,000 video views.

FAMOUS – Lessons Learned on Brand, Values and Resilience from the Most Iconic (and Maybe the Most Underrated) Product of Our Times (FLUPA 2025),
a cultural and strategic analysis of Taylor Swift’s career as a product ecosystem, extracting concrete lessons on brand consistency, long-term vision, value systems and resilience that modern product teams can apply to their own work.

Recognized for mastering the art of storytelling, Mitch brings audiences along through a distinctive mix of sharp insight, humor, personal anecdotes and pop culture references. Sitting at the intersection of strategic planning, design leadership and product expertise, he delivers talks that are both intellectually rigorous and highly engaging — making him an unmissable speaker on the future of product, design and culture in the age of AI.

Philippe possède une expérience solide de plus de 10 ans en tant que Coach Agile d’Entreprise et de plus 20 ans en tant que Développeur et Team Leader Agile principalement en salles de marchés. Il a contribué à plusieurs programmes d'agilité à l'échelle. Il sait comment catalyser une véritable agilité grâce à son expérience.

En effet l'agilité souffre actuellement d'un trop grand investissement dans les structures organisationnelles et les pratiques associées. Un rééquilibrage est possible si nous redonnons du pouvoir à l'humain, à notre capacité à ressentir et à surtout créer du sens, et à nous relier en tant que systèmes humains afin de favoriser la collaboration et de faire émerger des solutions innovantes et adaptatives.

Pour cela, Philippe s'est formé au coaching systémique ORSC™ en 2023 (Coaching Systémique pour les Organisations et les Relations). Il a expérimenté cette approche lors de ses missions et plus particulièrement lorsqu'il a travaillé avec des managers et leurs équipes en tant que facilitateur d'équipes. Il est certifié ORSC depuis juillet 2025 après avoir été mentoré et supervisé pendant un an sur ses compétences et ses interventions en tant que coach systémique. Pour compléter son expérience du métier de coach, il s'est formé également à Co-Active (coaching individuel) qu'il pratique régulièrement.

Il s'est également formé pendant des années à l'accompagner d'équipes agiles à tous les niveaux d’une organisation et à faire évoluer leur leadership (individuel et collectif). Il a démontré son approche aussi bien avec des équipes Produit dans le Digital que managériales. En faisant grandir le leadership à différents niveaux d’une organisation, ses clients bénéficient de structures plus performantes alignées avec la culture et la stratégie de l’entreprise.

Philippe est également traducteur du livre d'une des co-fondatrices d'ORSC : "Systems Inspired Leadership" / "Leadership inspiré par les systèmes".
