As artificial intelligence—particularly large language models (LLMs)—becomes embedded across platforms, a shift is occurring in how content, interfaces, and experiences are designed. We are no longer designing just for humans. We are designing in a hybrid environment where LLMs are often the first to parse, evaluate, or summarize our work before it reaches the user.… The post Designing for Users in AI-Dominated Environments appeared first on VERSIONS®.| VERSIONS®

Presented at IAC25, Philadelphia, PA This presentation introduces teams to a game-changing analytic approach that helps design organizations unlock business value and confidently take on Return on Investment (ROI) analysis. It focuses on the importance of Information Architecture (IA) analytics in improving the ROI of design organizations and it role in measuring usability, outcomes, and […]| Methodbrain
To put it another way: optimizing with GEO reverse engineering tactics is like entering a house through a small attic window. GEO ignores that the research frameworks literally embedded in the outputs of the model are the keys to the front door.| The Content Technologist
Perpetuated primarily by startups hungry for users and the entrepreneurial agencies and thought leaders who serve them, bad data begets worse expectations. Rapid rocketship visibility graphs imply that business results will follow—almost never the case long-term.| The Content Technologist
What is a Concept Baseline? “A concept baseline represents the ideas and symbols necessary for optimal communication between system participants. In practice, it refers to the documented and readily accessible concepts an organization or group of people manage to optimize activities related to insight, strategy, planning, and execution.” The target system represents what is often […] The post Concept Baseline appeared first on Methodbrain.| Methodbrain
A shared information environment is the given space, time, and respective mechanisms where participants willfully collaborate and coexist to satisfy their complementary objectives. Architecting their creation as a shared environment requires exploiting mechanisms that support beneficial interactions and human behaviors bounded by systemic reciprocity. If you are a user experience designer, product designer, or information […] The post Shared Information Environment Model v1.0 appeared first...| Methodbrain
The following is the abbreviated version of the “Project Accountability Model for UI Teams” and captures the key ideas and recommendations for use as a DSIA-based framework. Summary: Many UI and UX design teams exhibit four types of core activities. However, these activities are often conflated under the single umbrella of “design.” This conflation makes […] The post Project Accountability Model – TL;DR appeared first on Methodbrain.| Methodbrain
This poster is a synthesis of my research in the framing of information architecture. From 2000 until 2014, the field of information architecture experienced an identity crisis that left many contemplating the description of information architecture as a practice and its value in the creation of web user interfaces. The interest to define information architecture […] The post Information Architecture Schools of Thought 1.0 appeared first on Methodbrain.| Methodbrain

Information Architecture might sound big and confusing, but it’s really just organising information in a logical way so that people can find their way around and get what they need. Striding through the supermarket the other day, I could glance at the signs for each aisle, read the 4-5 categories for each, and easily skip ...| WriteMaps

What is ontology? An ontology is a formal system for modeling concepts and their relationships. Unlike relational database systems, which are essentially interconnected tables, ontologies put a premium on the relationships between concepts by storing the information in a graph database, or triplestore. (The following examples use data derived from PLOS, which makes all of its Open Access data and content available.) Relational databases are good at representing tabular data for one-to-one rel...| Boxes and Arrows
Using the customer intentions method to humanize our virtual worlds In the 2010 Sci-Fi film Inception a professional thief is offered a chance at erasing his criminal history if he implants one person’s ideas into the subconscious of another person. He aims to do this by crashing the second person’s dreams. He hires a graduate architecture student to design the dreamscapes. To design each space of the dream, she must align with the thief/dream crasher’s need to easily and intuitively| Boxes and Arrows
Enterprises often have a simplistic understanding of navigational structures in UX Design. Companies shy away from messing with known organizational schemas for fear that their users or customers will become confused and run away. We don’t give our users enough credit. As a result, most software navigational structures either reflect hierarchical departmental company/brand organization (because how can users be confused by that?), or a very top-heavy list of bucketed themes loosely based on...| Boxes and Arrows
