I'm not sure "advocating" is really of any use. I've been working in an
environment where it's taken two hard years to get the development team
to trust that anyone on the "creative" side knows anything about
application development at all. (In fact, many "designers" and some IAs
don't want to know anything about the technical details of an
application.

I'd be more interested in how you would suggest someone go about making
this dramatic change you advocate for in an enterprise environment? From
my experience, it's a long hard process to develop trust and good
working relationships.
