Today it struck me that #systemsDesign and #informationArchitecture planning are 95% emotional labor 5% technical understanding. People who write great code may set up healthy structures but they only do so when a shared model has been agreed upon by the stakeholders. This sets consensus building as the first essential skill set needed to get the job done. You want a great systems architect? How are their hostage negotiation skills?

SYSTEMS + CULTURE. I've posted a new Icon Design Guide to step you through the design of the Visual Vocabulary of Systems and Visual Vocabulary of Culture. All 330 icons follow this syntax and semiotic philosophy. Given that these codices are open source, the guide will help those who wish to modify or adapt the icons. To download, visit systemviz.com or cultureviz.com .

I've been around a few days so I guess I should do this... And I think I'll need multiples of #Introduction to get all my hashtags in... I work at a software company as Director of Operations, but focused on people, processes, supporting teams, #facilitation , and #ChangeManagement . Degrees are in MechEng but spent 20+ years in #UX #XD #HCI types of things and also several years leading #Scrum dev teams. I LOVE #SystemsThinking #SystemsDesign and pattern recognition in my work life.
