Hi Thomas: Can you explain these a little further for me, I am not understanding the concept of "transcendence" (and perhaps others who are listenings in, perhaps painfully, may want to help out)
1) "Recommendations does not mean transcendence that is exactly my point. Transcendence is when the quality of the recommendations transcend into the quality of the actual end product." 2) "There is no process that ensures that whatever findings you have in your UCD process will transcend into the pixels and the programming, i.e. there is no transcendence." "Do you really need to test if your navigation makes sense for the umpt time even though it's a bar in the top and a left menu navigation on the left?" - No you don't but this is where we may have a misconception or mis-communication around UCD, its value and have said along the way that users need to be brought in at the right time and place to inform design. Again, does this mean involve or invite the user in at every single point of delivery, maybe yes and maybe no, but the value of user input is still high on my priority list. Coming full circle, companies do care at some level about their user (as they pay the bills), how much care and how much their users are involved varies. rgds, Dan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
