Articles 500 to 1000 words in length are welcome on any topic related to information design and architecture. Recently we have had requests to address the following:

  • Topic-based approach to information architecture
  • Design strategies for minimalism, especially an architecture that supports error recognition and recovery
  • Moving content out of the book paradigm and integrating it with the context of the user
  • Change management–making the transition from one information architecture to another architecture
  • Global design collaboration–managing the design process across geographically distributed teams

ID-IA SIG members are invited to register on Design Matters and write to the Website Manager to request access as a WordPress Contributor. The email address is on the Leaders page. The web team and editors will review your article, check with you about any major changes, and publish your article.

    note: website in major transisition/redesign

    I was thinking of some sort of brief real-life implementation/lessons learned /tricks of the trade piece discussing our system in relation to the topics suggested above, since our new Information Development group has

    -fully implemented a topic-based information architecture (and integrated it with our Customer Care center’s information architecture)

    - converted to a minimalist style and writing strategy (and matching writer training)

    - Converted from a paper-document-based system to an electronic-media-based production and delivery paradigm.

    -moved from a single-site, single-geography arena (USA) to an international multi-geography/ distributed arena.

    We did this fairly rapidly and smoothly, and were able to not only get upper management buy-off, but substantially increased executive support for our projects.

    My first thoughts were for doing a “Before and After” piece with a “key issue/barrier” and “solution(s)/trick” in relation to each major change; but I am open to any editorial or outside suggestion regarding approach. No theory; only real-life actions and solutions that work in a fast-paced, viable business situation.
