Many IAs and others that are responsible for information systems worldwide try to develop application strategies - with more or less success. In this interview, we talk about a great IA and UX method of doing this very efficiently. It was developed by Indi Young, who is also one of the founders of Adaptive Path, a renowned IA and User Experience group in San Francisco. After attending her seminar during the PreCon of the IA Summit 2007, where visitors learned how to create a Mental Model (during the teamwork that needs to take place between IAs and their clients), I had the chance to interview her.
One of the things I really like about her is her great ability to describe complex things in an understandable way, using metaphors such as “the hallway test” to help communicate methods like the Mental Model to the business world.
Indi is currently writing a book on creating Mental Models and she has a blog at Rosenfeld Media. Does this grab your attention? Then let’s listen to the interview.

Are Halland - Information Architect from Norway
“We all need to blog” was one message from Are during his speech at the first european IA conference, the EURO IA 2005. What he ment to say to the european Information Architects was that we all need to speak out in a clear, strong voice. Also there is a strong need to communicate, network and to work in projects together.
One year later, at the second EURO IA 2006, I had a chance to talk to Are in the Lobby of the Maritime conference hotel. He gave me some interesting answers on my questions about the IA situation in his country, how he thinks about IA in Europe and where he see’s the nexts upcoming IA trends. Among these he thinks for example that Topic Maps will become more important in the future. Let’s hear what else he says…
