Women in IA - Noreen Whysel

Noreen Whysel is the Operations Manager of the IA Institute. We talk about her main activities in the field of IA and how it started. She talks with me about her role in the IA Institute, how the Institute is organised and how it's also trying to meet the needs of its members as good as possible. It's also quite interesting to hear what activity she's doing in her daily routine as an Information Architect. Let's listen to Noreen right here...

Women in IA - Donna Maurer

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

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.

Jacco Nieuwland - Information Architect from Netherlands/Holland

At the EURO IA in Berlin I also had the pleasure to talk to Jacco Nieuwland who's an Information Architect from the Netherlands.

What he introduced me to was Swipr, a very interesting IA tool or better be said IA deliverable which he and his company user intelligence developed to communicate their concepts with their clients. It sounds very interesting since it merges flow charts and wireframes.

I have to admit there was a little too much background noise and I hope you excuse this.
