Richard, you believe deeply in the need for collaboration for yourself. That's great!
Here's what I suggest you do. Do it!!!! Don't wait for the organizations to come along and do it. Just do it. If you feel that we are doing this work at a snail's pace, then figure out ways to increase the love between those peers that you feel will get you the most traction. Sketch > Model > Validate > Prototype > Evangelize > Build Just do the work. I often have a few people on my shoulder who carry me through moments like these. Right now I'm thinking about Christina W. and Andrei H. Both people are just so against talking bullshit. Christina has always taken her passion for communty and applied it directly to DOING stuff. IA Summit, Asilomar, IAI, B&A, Linked In Andrei has always said that doing it, doing all of it is the best way to get people to understand what it is you mean. So just do it! It is obvious that there are people who would greatly benefit from any sort of collaboration, or cooperation, or co-sponsoring, or whatever between IA & IxD in whatever manifestation you come up with. This is one of those things that just require vision and pull leadership. The followers will come if indeed it is worthy. I"ve had great successes and great failures in this process, but trying is the key! -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
