Boxes and Arrows: Comments by sam ladner http://www.boxesandarrows.com/person/14254 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:32:18 GMT Comments by sam ladner <p>An excellent summary of the interaction (ahem!) between communication, organization and design. I find it a bold statement to suggest that IA can be the vanguard of organizational change. Not that I necessarily disagree but I have to wonder, where are the organization’s leaders? Where is the <span class="caps">CEO</span> or senior managers? And <span class="caps">WHERE</span> is the human resources department?</p> <p>I think systematic distortion is part of the issue. Are we training our organizational leaders to distort information rather than shine sunlight onto problems? One could argue that this has always been the case, but is Peter suggesting that it is particularly bad “these days” and the IAs have a better eye or training to spot this?</p> http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/we-tried-to-warn-you#content_17551 http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/we-tried-to-warn-you#content_17551 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:32:18 GMT sam ladner <p>An excellent summary of the interaction (ahem!) between communication, organization and design.
