I agree. The secret sauce is simply the culture of the organization. Time and time again, the best designs and products come from companies/organizations that have a dedicated vision of the importance of good design. From the top down, the entire organization is willing and ready to put the people, time, and money into getting it right. That's what business is...isn't it. A huge power struggle for people, time, and money. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
