Lightning Talk (10 minus) presented at WordCamp NYC at the UN
Too often in web design and development we treat clients as the enemy - irritating, ill-informed, pointy-haired-boss style business people who don't "get" what we do.
If instead we treated clients as our allies, and aligned our interests to theirs - recognizing that their success is out ultimate goal - we'd achieve better outcomes.

We the peoples of the United Nations determined
• to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our
lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
• to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human
person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
• to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising
from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
• to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
And for these ends
• to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good
neighbours, and
• to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
• to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that
armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
• to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social
advancement of all peoples,
• Have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims
Accordingly, our respective Governments . . . do hereby establish an international
organization to be known as the United Nations.

like in the future
• While things are going well, plan for how you will
