Joannes Vandermeulen is founder and head of Business development of the Namahn Agency in Brussels. Recently I was happy to be invited to a very interesting UCD Master Class Workshop at Namahns’ where participants learn about UCD as a discipline, the UCD process, specifications and the ROI.
After the class we had one of the most interesting talkes with Joannes as we talked about his ideas, the workflows in his agency and the user centered design process. We discussed these following topics with Joannes - be free to listen to him right here:

Women in IA - Donna Maurer

Wolf H. Noeding — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 21:18:00 +0000

Donna Maurer is well known as an Information Architect,
Interaction Designer and much more in the field of IA. She is a
Marketing and Communications Director on the board of the IA Institute, holds a leading position at ASIS&T, has delivered significant speeches at IA conferences, and this year, she was in the planning committee for the IA Summit, where she gave
the welcoming speech. With her very charming Australian accent, she gave me some answers to questions about her IA background, the intention of her conference speeches (book summary: “Women, Fire and Dangerous Things”) and workshops ( e.g., Introduction to IA). We also had the chance to talk about her role in the IA Institute and what she thinks are the challenges for us IAs over the next two years. Let’s listen to her valuable thoughts right here:

Women in IA - Indi Young

Wolf H. Noeding — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 19:00:00 +0000

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.

Wolf H. Noeding — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 19:11:00 +0000

In this episode about “Women in the Field of Information Architecture”, I was happy to talk with Stacy Surla at the IA Summit in Las Vegas, after she spoke in a panel discussion about “IA in Second Life”.

Stacy isn’t just the Treasurer on the Board of the IA Institute, she’s also a force behind some important initiatives, such as the Local Groups initiative. We talked about Stacy’s IA background, her IA Institute role, her IA conference speeches and many other topics, including some very interesting ideas about ambient findability in virtual worlds like Second Life.

Interview with Are Halland

Wolf H. Noeding — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 22:22:00 +0000

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…
