[IxDA Discuss] Should IxDA support a US National Design Policy?
Folk, Recently, a group of leaders from various US design organizations came together to discuss the question of a US National design policy. This summit meeting resulted in 10 design policy recommendations, which can be found here: http://www.designpolicy.org/usdp/policy-proposals.html (The full report on the summit meeting can be found here: http://www.designpolicy.org/usdp/summit-report.html) After the summit meeting, the leaders of this initiative contacted IxDA to ask for our participation and endorsement. In turn, the Board has asked me to reach out to you--the community--to help us decide how (or if) IxDA should participate. The Board finds much to support in the 10 policy initiatives. In particular, the spirit of optimistic patriotism is welcome, and we certainly support the efforts of those who are motivated by that spirit. That said, the 10 policy proposals include some items that the Board strongly disagreed with as well. The Board finds itself similarly split on whether or not the very idea of design organizations partnering with government is a good idea. What do you think? Should IxDA get involved? Are there specific initiatives that YOU would like to support by working alongside your IxDA peers? Are there alternative ways you would like to see IxDA proceed? For quick reference, here are the the 10 recommendations: 1. Formalize an American Design Council to partner with the U.S. Government. 2. Set guidelines for legibility, literacy, and accessibility for all government communications. 3. Target 2030 for carbon neutral buildings. 4. Create an Assistant Secretary for Design and Innovation position within the Department of Commerce to promote design. 5. Expand national grants to support interdisciplinary community design assistance programs based on human-centered design principles. 6. Commission a report to measure and document designs contribution to the U.S. economy. 7. Revive the Presidential Design Awards to be held every year and use triple bottom-line criteria (economic, social, and environmental benefit) for evaluation. 8. Establish national grants for basic design research. 9. Modify the patent process to reflect the types of intellectual property created by designers. 10. Encourage direct government investment in design innovation. What do you think? How do you see IxDA's role relating to this? Thanks, Josh Seiden Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] What's your favorite memory of Interaction 08?
So many great talks! (I missed as many as I caught, and was grateful for the videos.) But Chris Conley's Dramatic Features talk really stood out for me. As did Gretchen Anderson's. The Local Leader's dinner was so much fun--it was so great to connect with all of the energetic organizers from around the world. I loved packing out the swag bags with the student volunteers, and then meeting these same students on the tours of their design studios. Amazing to see the next generation emerging! And of course, scheming and planning '09 over beers. Looking forward to Feb! JS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] perceived problems with personas
Either a method is scientific or pseduscientific. There is no middle ground. I just completely disagree with the way you're framing the conversation. Although some here may be making claims about personas being scientific, I certainly do not make this claim. People are confusing science with rigor. Rigorous thinking is not the sole province of the sciences. Rigorous thought is found in many domains: design, fiction, art, and yes, sometimes science as well. So to say a method is either scientific or pseudoscientific may be true in the limited sense in which you're speaking. But it implies that every method aspires to science-and that which does not achieve science is by definition fake science. That's hogwash. (Or perhaps more precisely, balderdash.) Many many creative methods exist that do not aspire to science. To call those methods fake science is as misleading as it is to call science pseudo-creative. It's a characterization that completely misses the point. I wish that more designers would acknowledge this about our methods. JS Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Where that ACD thing fits
James, I think that you are mis-characterizing personas. A persona is simply a model. It can be a good model or a bad model. When you write: None of 5 Personas represent any of the 32 real participants. We effectively thrown away all our data away. This is simply an example of a bad persona set. In a good persona set, no data is thrown away. Instead, all data is represented, but in a manner that organizes it in a useful way.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Where that ACD thing fits
Jarod-- just to be clear, I'm not making any claims about Larry's work, other than to say that in his definition of ACD, he accounts for goals and other higher-order concepts. This seems to contradict what Jared posted about at the beginning of this thread: that ACD did not account for these things. So I'm just asking Jared (not Jarod :-) to clarify. James-- I know that you've created a bad persona set by definition. If the persona set ignores or discards the data, it's not what most serious practitioners call a persona. It's what most serious practitioners call a bad persona. I'm also hesitant to get into a long discussion of personas here. That's another thread.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Where that ACD thing fits
Dave, The why is contained in the first article that I cited. Larry's work is concerned with modeling systems--ways to represent the working knowledge during design process steps--language. I read in that article an attempt to create a robust and repeatable way to model the problem space in a design project. So I agree--it's not about value distinctions, but about a quest for more precise language. At least, that's how I read it--not trying to put words in anyone's mouth.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxDA Value and Purpose
Hi David, Thanks for writing. Not trying to indulge in hubris. Just trying to find an open-ended way to put people at the heart of what we are doing. As an organization, interaction design is at our core, but we are trying to acknowledge that IxD does little good unless it is in the service of making things better for people. So you're right, it's lofty, but it's also trying to be open-ended--which I think it important for a community that has as much energy for self-definition as ours does. Thanks for the feedback...

[IxDA Discuss] IxDA Value and Purpose
Hello All, I'm excited to be able to tell you about some work the Board has recently completed. At our Board retreat earlier this month, the Board (http://www.ixda.org/about_leadership.php) reaffirmed and clarified the mission of our organization. I am just so excited to be able to share this with you, and I hope that after you've had a chance to read and discuss, that you'll share my enthusiasm. IxDA has always been dedicated to two propositions. First, we are a community that has come together around a shared passion for interaction design. Second, we are working to create a new kind of professional organization-one built around community contribution and initiative. As we've grown-we now have nearly 8,000 subscribers to our list, 5,000 members of our LinkedIn group, and Face-to-Face meetings in nearly 60 cities-we've also seen that some of these core principles are not universally well understood. Thus, the board felt it was important to reaffirm these principles for ourselves, and to communicate them to the community. As a result, I'm proud to share with you our newly crafted Statement of Value and Purpose: We believe that the human condition is increasingly challenged by poor experiences. IxDA intends to improve the human condition by advancing the discipline of Interaction Design. To do this, we foster a community of people that choose to come together to support this intention. IxDA relies on individual initiative, contribution, sharing and self-organization as the primary means for us to achieve our goals. The Board also spent a lot of time discussing the role of the Board itself, especially in light of the statement above, which clearly reaffirms our commitment to being a community-driven organization. The result of that discussion is an idea that we're calling the IxDA Network. Stay tuned. I'll explain that in my next email.

[IxDA Discuss] [JOB] Design Communicator, NYC, USA; Liquidnet; FT
As a Design Communicator you will play a key role in helping to design future applications at Liquidnet. You will join a unique design team to create the next generation of Liquidnet products and services. What is a Design Communicator? Design Communicators are a unique blend of technical writer, business analyst, design strategist, and designer. Design Communicators collaborate with Interaction Designers to lead the User Experience design process. Responsibilities * You will be responsible for leading the communication of product form and behavior. This includes creating formal written requirements and specification documents, as well as other less formal and more evocative documents intended to communicate the vision of the products you are designing. * You will act as a design analyst. In this role you will lead in the development of design requirements and problem definition. You will conduct stakeholder and user interviews and observations and other research. You will use this knowledge to create requirements and problem definitions. You will represent this knowledge in a variety of forms and models, including personas, scenarios, goal and task models. * You will act as a design editor, evaluator, and facilitator. Working with designers on your team, you will ensure the appropriateness, usefulness, usability, and general goodness of the design solutions that your team creates. You will be responsible for testing the design through scenarios, looking for inconsistencies, missing elements, and poorly articulated reasoning. Key Qualifications Empathy: Design communicators are insatiably curious about how other people work, live, and think. They enjoy meeting potential users of a product, and they think about design by visualizing themselves as the people who will use it. Big-picture to details: DCs work at multiple levels, from high-level concept to nitty-gritty detail. At every level, DCs need to be able to clarify design ideas, extract the real meaning from a conversation, and capture decisions and issues in a way that serves both the design team and the business. A quick study: You have the ability to understand complex systems and processes, both software-based and in the real world. You will be required to digest and understand the many complex factors that govern equity trading, from social and peer norms to a multinational regulatory environment. You will be able to successfully navigate those factors as you create design solutions. Excellent writing skills: The audience for design documentation ranges from developers and QA teams to top-level executives. Our documents must efficiently and accurately communicate design details, while also providing the persuasion and professional look that inspires confidence in our work. DCs must enjoy writing and be able to generate large volumes of prose in a short period of time. Outstanding collaboration and facilitation skills: DCs must be skilled at drawing out ideas, clarifying them, and helping their colleagues synthesize information. DCs have the ability to extract the real meaning from a conversation. A DC moves meetings forward at the right pace, maintains focus on important issues, captures open issues and decisions, and drives toward consensus. Strong organizational skills: As the keeper of the narrative of the design, a DC must be able to organize concepts and details in the manner that best facilitates understanding. In composing documents, DCs act as information designers, and so must have a keen ability to present a variety of information in the most appropriate way. Also, DCs act as day-to-day project managers. Other Qualifications * 3 - 5 years experience as a Design Communicator or related discipline * Experience in the field of User Experience or related disciplines * Excellent communication (both written and verbal) skills * Strong analytical skills * Strong presentation skills * Solid understanding of technology and the product development lifecycle * Experience as a business analyst or technical writer is a plus * Experience in the financial services industry a plus To apply, go to www.liquidnet.com/jobs Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] iRise sues Axure for patent infringement
After some offline discussions, I want to clarify what I wrote earlier. 1. IxDA isn't going to take a position in this dispute. As an organization, we have no meaningful visibility into the issues, nor do we have the resources to develop that visibility. Thus we are not is a position to take a position, a must remain neutral. 2. We understand passion that the community feels on this subject. Many of us are users of one or both of these products; no doubt employees of both firms are members of the community as well. There is likely to be a diversity of opinion and need here, and we ask that members understand that as well. 3. Both the organization and some of our members could be exposed to unpleasant legal consequences as a result of this discussion. Therefore, we ask that those interested in continuing this discussion do so offline, on one of your blogs perhaps, or in some other forum. 4. If someone in the community wants to organize a petition drive or create any other action plan as a *private citizen*, of course you may do so. But please refrain from doing so on the IxDA discussion list. You may post a reference to your efforts here, but please organize off-list. Also, your efforts will be your own: please don't use the IxDA name. 5. Andrei's point about patent discussions on-list is an important one an needs to be given serious thought. At this point, it looks like there are two action items for the Board here. 1) we will investigate the idea of an opt-in sandbox for patent-related discussions. (Volunteers please contact me off-list.) 2) we will discuss creating a policy to explicitly deal with these types of discussions. I hope folks will understand the organization's position here. We are a young organization, and still learning and growing. From time to time, issues emerge for which we have no precedent, and sometimes it gets a little chaotic while we figure things out. So I ask for your indulgence, goodwill, and cooperation. Thanks, Josh Seiden President, IxDA Board of Directors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxDA Announces New Board of Directors for 2008-2009
First off, I know I speak for the entire Board when I say thanks for the good wishes. This good will and energy is just another reflection of what makes this community is a special one. I personally am in awe of what this community has accomplished in the last few years. The discussion list, the Local Groups programs, our first conference--all of this happened because we were able to harness our collective energy. The outlook for the future is amazing! The discussion is thriving, and we have great momentum for Local Groups and Interaction '09. One of the great assets that we have--as a community of designers--is a wealth of good ideas. Our challenge is to do justice to them! We can't do everything, but we have already done amazing things--because people got involved.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Seeking IxDA Board member candidates
Hi Folks, Board membership is a wonderful opportunity to work with a small group of passionate people who want to build this community. The grass roots ethos is central to IxDA. We believe passionately in community, and believe that our future leaders should come directly from the community. Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and build something great? Then please consider applying for a position on the Board. The application period will remain open until Dec 28, 2007. Thanks, JS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxD Candidate Available * Recruiter* Relo to US and France
Folks, [Writing in my capacity as list moderator. Sorry for the interruption...] Although this message does not violate any existing guidelines for IxDA Discuss, the Board feels uncomfortable about this type of advertisement, because it dilutes the quality of our discussion. It is standard policy on other discussion lists to prohibit candidates (or agents acting on their behalf) from advertising their availability. The Board will be adopting a similar guideline shortly. If you have questions or concerns about this forthcoming policy change, please feel free to write to me off-list. Sorry for the interruption, and thanks...
