Adaptive Path Blog

I’m very pleased to announce the relaunch of Changemakers.com, the leading network for open source social innovation. Changemakers is a program of Ashoka, a global non-profit organization supporting the world’s leading social entrepreneurs. Changemakers hosts competitions to find the best solutions to social problems, and allows the community to collaborate on, refine, enrich, and implement those solutions. The Adaptive Path team included Leah Buley, Rae Brune, Dan Harrelson, and Kumi Akiyoshi, with Jody Medich and Gray Kuglen.

The redesign was a nine-month project involving not only a large team in San Francisco, but Changemakers staff in Washington DC, Vancouver, and our wonderful development partners Enomaly in Toronto. Given that it was a ground up redesign, we worked with the Changemakers team on web strategy, user research (7 countries!), information architecture, interaction and visual design as well as implementation oversight. Over the next few weeks Leah, Dan, and I will be bringing you stories, methods, and lessons from the project on the Adaptive Path blog. In the meantime, check out the case study and head over to Changemakers.com to give it a spin.
