This post and the reactions on the list demonstrate very clearly the need for intense communication to related communities. I am working mostly in enterprise environments in Europe, and there it is still quite normal that UX work is been done by business analysts and developers without naming it UX or anything similar. More than 50% of my work consists of educating clients and partners about my profession and its value to an IT project.
Some ideas from posters before point in the right direction, such as - giving an appropriate response to articles like this - less IxD/IA title and competency wars (noone out there understands the difference anyway) - approaching publications such as CIO and magazines related to software developments development What else can be done to raise awareness and to simplify/communicate the message? milan -- ||| | | |||| || |||||||| | || | || milan guenther * interaction design p +49 173 2856689 * www.guenther.cx ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
