Comments on: Should we take off our black turtlenecks and give up “ownership” of interaction design in order to take it mainstream? http://interaction.ixda.org Feb 4-7, 2010, Savannah, Georgia Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:20:43 -0400 hourly 1 By: Karlyn Neel http://interaction.ixda.org/proposals/discussions/should-we-take-off-our-black-turtlenecks-and-give-up-ownership-of-interaction-design-in-order-to-take-it-mainstream/comment-page-1/#comment-344 Karlyn Neel Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:21:39 +0000 http://interaction.ixda.org/?page_id=544#comment-344 If we give up ownership, does the product and design start to become lackluster, mushy, or lack a strong point-of-view? Does it become more of a design by committee? And is this a good thing or bad? Or, do all the collaborative owners add insights that other owners have not considered? I'm looking forward to hearing the IxD field's POV! To own or not to own? If we give up ownership, does the product and design start to become lackluster, mushy, or lack a strong point-of-view?

Christian--Yes we will go into how relaxing constraints can really unleash innovation. DeAnn--Your point is key as this approach does just that by leveraging non-designers in the process. Rodrigo--Yes many companies do this and yet don't setup product managers for success. That's a key difference with our approach. Thanks for the comments…

Christian–Yes we will go into how relaxing constraints can really unleash innovation.

DeAnn–Your point is key as this approach does just that by leveraging non-designers in the process.

Rodrigo–Yes many companies do this and yet don’t setup product managers for success. That’s a key difference with our approach.

My sense is that whether we like it or not, lots of people in companies already feel some ownership over "design". Product managers and the like always voice their opinions on whether X should be blue or green, or a few pixels here or there. Makes sense to institutionalize the fact that ownership is distributed.
