I gave a presentation at Eduweb in Chicago in July 2009 titled "Web Design Without Politics." I showed 6 techniques we've learned or developed to help a group of people from across an institution plan their website together in a short period of time. And not fight about it later.

  1. KJ sessions for getting the best ideas from a group of people - and getting them to agree!
  2. Nav Bar Survivor - a great trick for solving the "What should be in the top nav?" argument
  3. Design Consequences game for generating alternative designs quickly
  4. Posterframes - Poster sessions for fleshing out landing pages
  5. Mood Boards - capture attitudes about your brand that people can't easily put into words
  6. Digital Paper Prototyping - all the advantages of paper prototyping, none of the paper cuts!

I'll be giving this presentation again at the EdUI Conference in Charlottesville, Virginia on September 22nd, 2009.
