It would also help to invest a small amount of time in training interns, you would be surprised as to how much they can achieve if you empower them and teach them rather than dismiss them as useless

These summers aren't even the top talent. They all went to Google/Facebook/McKinsey

^agreed with the empowerment. Honestly, like 75-80% of the interns I have worked with have been pretty good. They learn fast and work hard, can't ask for much else over a 10 week period.

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site. They showed me analytics saying only .35% of users open the main menu (most access different pages through Google search and then leave the site) so it's not worth the time to redesign. I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?
