[Sigia-l] IA and Neuro Linguistic Programming?

[hmax]

As a bit of an IA old timer, I thought it might be
useful to share the fact that NLP heavily informed the
information architecture behind Virtual Vineyards,
where I deployed the first secure shopping cart in
1994.

As a Master Practitioner, it became obvious that NLP
had an extraordinary amount to offer IA. Ultimately,
this helped me to create a small-m methodology which
in the pre-Cooperian days I used to refer to as
"Outcome-Oriented Design". 

This design method employed a number of key NLP
features; namely, the outcome and as-if frames, the
NLP presuppositions, analog marking, and embedded
directives among others. To this day, I've yet to run
across a more powerful set of tools for designing
complex information systems.
