I read it and wholly agree with Rick Poyner's sentiments -- that "design thinking" is being used (a) to permit designers to willingly degrade and devalue themselves, their skills, and their processes and (b) to permit "business people" to re-assert their traditional authority over emerging design-driven businesses by coating their rhetoric with the language and ideas of design. It also seems, however, that Poyner is unfairly using both Adam Greenfield and Peter Merholz as punching bags to prove his point. While both of them advocate more conscientious design less beholden, or at least not exclusively beholden, to stylization, and both of them differ significantly on many other design issues, neither of them would (I think) want to be thrown into the cynical and ironically designer-hostile Nussbaum/d.School camp in which "design is too important to be left to designers". -Cf Christopher Fahey ____________________________ Behavior biz: http://www.behaviordesign.com me: http://www.graphpaper.com On Apr 21, 2008, at 11:08 AM, Will Evans wrote: > Has anyone else read this month's ID magazine article on Design > Thinking? > Peter M @ Adaptive is quoted... > > > -- > ~ will > > "Where you innovate, how you innovate, > and what you innovate are design problems" > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Will Evans | User Experience Architect > tel +1.617.281.1281 || [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ________________________________________________________________ > Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! > To post to this list .......
