Jim As always, I love your thoughtful responses. I don't think in any design disicpline there is a one-size fits all. This is why there are different design schools and different design disciplines and even different design methodologies.
I think the best we all can do is offer what has worked for us, express why what we do has worked in as clear and dispassionate means as possible and then be open to listening to others and learning from how their experiences have caused them to go in new directions. To answer Nick ... I'm not sure there is an affinity group around this question. So instead of taking formal time from the group around intangibles like the framing of this conversation, one might have a breakfast table, or a lunch table on the topic of "How is your organization organized around skills, roles, and x-design collaboration?" It's interesting that we didn't get any submissions on the topic of managing and building an interaction design team team for the conference. On a side note, for stuff like "Let's talk about this or that at the conference." I recommend using the "Connect" section on our web site. You can get there by either clicking "Connect" from the main conference site's top navigation (http://interaction08.ixda.org/) or by going directly there at http://interaction08.crowdvine.com. -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
