Feel free to reply off-list.

Where Does User Advocacy Belong in the CompanyStructure?

My experience has involved the touch points between Marketing, Business
Dev, Customer Service, and IT. My take is to engage company wide
constituents in participation towards a more collective conscious of the
customer experience. I don't believe that who your team reports to is a
true indicator of your potential success. Granted it helps to have
senior mgmt champions on board, but the ideas and processes behind
UCD/UX and being able to tie that in with a tangible ROI is a strategy
that has worked for me.

Use of icons v. hidden triggers for rollovers

Hi,

I work on a team that builds foreign language
courseware in a browser-based environment. The nature
of the program requires that in addition to a target
language (if we are teaching Spanish, Spanish is the
target language), we supply English equivalent for
most vocabulary that is taught.

Where Does User Advocacy Belong in the Company Structure?

Can a usability team report into an aggressive
marketing/business development unit and remain true to
the user? Can the same question be raised if the team
reports into IT?

I'm having an interesting debate here about where the
user advocacy group should report. (The choices are IT
or Marketing – I can't form a new department!).

Possibly OT: Feedforward and Control Theory

Naznin:

The most frequently cited books for applying control theory to human
perception are by J.T. Powers:

Powers, J.T. (1973). Behavior: The control of perception. Chicago: Aldine.
Powers, J.T. (1973). Feedback: Beyond behaviorism. Science, 179, 351-379.

More general references on control theory and control engineering go back at
least 100 years, and you should be able to find good textbook references in
any university bookshop.

I am not familiar with feedforward interviews.
