It suggests that if a design looks dated, conversion goals are not being met, the site does not scale well or have a good mobile experience, analytics are problematic, or there are user complaints, it is time to take action. The first steps recommended are to do research, set goals, identify target audiences, define the scope of work, and select an appropriate solution. Potential solutions discussed are a retrofit with minor CSS changes, a full redesign, or varying levels of refinement work depending on the specific issues.

Designing beautiful & effective sites for non profitsEve Simon
Eve Simon discusses common myths about web design for non-profits and provides tips for creating effective designs. She debunks the myths that design is universal, organizations all want the same thing, and sites should solely reflect an organization's structure. Simon emphasizes starting a dialogue, doing research on goals, audiences and competitors, and developing multiple concepts without forcing ideas. When mission and message combine, the design can have a strong visual impact and focus on engaging the target audience.
Is social good the next killer app? SXSW 2015.Eve Simon
Core conversation from SXSW 2015:
Something sexy happened at SXSW 2014 that didn’t involve Lady GaGa: an unprecedented number of do-gooding Geekerati showed up, wanting to change the world. Does this mean that social good has “made it”, or just become the latest trend to generate lots of hype but little impact? Shiny new platforms, brands and tools promise game-changing technologies & society-saving outcomes, but do they get us any closer to actually solving the world’s most challenging social problems?
It’s time we put the SXSW community to work doing what it does best - leading industry innovation. Come to this session ready to get your hands dirty exploring what authentic, lasting social change could really look like.

The document summarizes a team building exercise for 100 project managers at a Veolia forum. The exercise involved dividing participants into 9 teams and having each team construct a pipeline through their assigned territory to transport balls from point A to B. Teams had to work collaboratively with neighboring territories to ensure the pipeline was complete. Participants found it challenging but noted the importance of collaboration, defining roles, and coming to agreements, mirroring real work experiences. The activity helped demonstrate the need for organizations to provide seamless delivery through aligned teams.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow and levels of neurotransmitters and endorphins which elevate and stabilize mood.
