I am looking for resources

would like to pick the collective brain on this matter. Any
suggestions?
In my company we've tried different approaches to this issue. One that
we've found particularly useful is to do old-fashioned design
critiques -- we gather around the projector and look at designs we
like / don't like, and then analyze them (sometimes down to the code
level). Team members are welcome to suggest sites they like or don't
like; this helps make the discussion more relevant to them. Of course,
this assumes that there's a senior member of the team willing to serve
as mentor to the process.
Another fun technique is to watch design-oriented movies together, and
then discuss them and how they relate to our work. My team and I have
enjoyed Helvetica, Sketches of Frank Gehry, and a few others. The cool
thing about this exercise is that few of these movies talk
specifically about design for the web, but design is design, and we
can find different ways of thinking about some of the problems we're
facing.
Hope this helps...
