Day of Design Thoughts

I attended the first and third speakers sessions and I found both of them very interesting and helpful.

The first speaker was very helpful and focused mainly on communication and getting people motivated to make a change.  She said to not assume that communication has already been established between team member and to ensure that each member agrees on the direction the project is going.  Another point she made was that when you present an idea or project, you need to make such an impact that people are motivated to make it happen even outside the conference room.  Involve them in the process and give them something tangible to help them see that it can be a reality.

The third speaker was impromptu so he was not that well prepared but he still had an interesting talk.  He showed us this website he was working on and how it needs to be user oriented and gave some examples of some areas the site needed to improve on.  He also talked about staying committed and not just scrapping your ideas.
