motivating new learning - was Re: keyboard shortcuts + contextual menus

This is an interesting problem (regardless of whether or not you agree
about kb shortcuts) - at a certain point, learning comes to a
near-complete stop.

Intranet Best Practices Report (free!)

Aplogies for the cross postings but I thought some of you would find
this interesting -

We just published an intranet best practices report here at Avenue A |
Razorfish. This 43 page report discusses intranet maturity, trends and
best practices. It also includes ideas to steal from the consumer world.
It's a free report and can be downloaded at
http://avenuea-razorfish.com/enterprisesolutions/

Take a look and let me know if you have any feedback or thoughts for a
future version.

Thanks!

Shiv

FW: design by committee??

I think that data can be used successfully to backup functional design
decisions. You can test different interaction methods on users and
measure efficiency, effectiveness, etc.
(e.g. sequence of screens to support taskflow)

But it's more difficult to test whether or not "orange" is better than
"blue" (my made up example).

synergies with engineers??

Three things that I think have helped me a lot:

1) Sometimes the engineers are right, and it is worth giving them some real consideration.

2) If you are an ethnographer debating a positivist (sometimes qualitative vs. quantitative) it helps to be have sufficient expertise in the oppositions camp. This establishes credibility and allows you to debate with a common language.

3) I have had great success using evidence.
