[Sigia-l] tenets, principles, standards (was AIfIA Goals 2004 Survey Result s)

[Hankinson, Jody]

I'm sorry my point wasn't clear. I wasn't talking about methodology within a
corporation - that's something very different that an industry standard. Nor
am I advocating anarchy. Why does it have to be one or the other? 

Let's have guidelines or tenets or principles. But why have a standard,
rule, mandate when other industries, disciplines, practices aren't
successfully implementing similar initiatives?

And why should I, as an innie IA at a non-profit have to follow the same
rules as a consultant at a financial services firm? It just doesn't make
sense. 

And we have already heard the job reason. I'm not convinced. I want to hear
more.
