[Sigia-l] "Getting the design right, and getting the right design"

[Ken Bryson]

You could do worse than reading Bill's book, for instance.  Not from the
usability camp per se but that's the point, fwiw.

Subject: [Sigia-l] "Getting the design right, and getting the right
design"

Bill Buxton (Microsoft Research) says:

"In terms of user experience, there are two key objectives in the
creation of any system or product: getting the design right, and getting
the right design. At the risk of over-simplification, usability has
traditionally been concerned mainly with the former. That is good in the
sense that at least competent professionals are attending to that aspect
of the design. But who owns getting the right design, and how does
usability fit into that aspect of the process?"

Does anyone know of any papers, articles, blogs, etc *from the usability
camp* that speak to "getting the design right" part of the equation?

The constraint is the design.
