I'm not really that concerned about the term that's used. Truth be told, when we're designing at Messagefirst, we do goal oriented data driven design. Every design decision we make is based on a business goal, customer/user goal, and/or a piece of research data that focuses on their behavior/activity. So, technically we do goal-oriented data driven design, not user or activity centered design. Cheers! Todd Zaki Warfel President, Design Researcher Messagefirst | Designing Information.
