The Finance industry is starting to "catch on" in that they know what this "usability thing" is. So some firms are throwing money at CUA certifications. Not that CUA certifications are a bad thing to spend money on, but the HFI curriculum focuses on testing bad stuff rather than making it right in the first place. So recommendations end up being "lipstick on a pig." Would be nice to see how many IxDs are working in Finance vs. Usability Analysts. Honestly, with so many people averse to change in this industry, and with so few competitors, the incentive to become more efficient is not that high yet. - N ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
