Scott, in response to your question as to the path I've been on in my career, I've documented a simplified version of it in the presentation I gave in early 2005 at the IA Summit in Montreal.
Twenty Years Of Lessons Learned http://orbitnet.com/iasummit2005/ Companion Slides: http://www.orbitnet.com/iasummit2005/iasummit2005.html I've also presented a number of my views on the role of design in the discussion I had with Luke Wroblewski, Bob Baxley, and Dirk Knemeyer in 2006: http://www.lukew.com/resources/articles/DesignVision.pdf At some point I'll want to update my presentation to include a description of the strategies I've used since 2006, however it's possible to see it as an extension of the many strategies and skills learned and employed over my entire career. In a new thread I see that you're posing a question as to the reasons designs/designers fail. I think you'll see a number of examples in my piece linked above, that doomed projects even when many of the design variables were covered successfully. I'd be happy to have a conversation with you at some point as well. Also . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
