Some bold predictions here.
The expressed ideas exchanged in this conversation reflect cutting-edge thought-leadership.
Based on the voiced reason and logical points from Eric, I believe I can confidently declare that win or fail, these predictions will be a win-win situation.
If Eric is right, well then he’s right.
If he’s wrong in a specific point, the fact remains that the collaborated thoughts and behaviour patterns that he has drawn these conclusions from indeed point to what lies beneath. Like the saying goes, \where there’s smoke there’s fire\, I believe Eric is addressing the issues at hand.
Business process’ combined with intimate people interactions will pave the way for new media (I prefer \new media\ instead of \social media\ because new media is already an understood term, social media in it’s truest form is new media, and new media should always be the vanguard for change by capturing the latest social trends in media :)
I am very thankful that I had a mentor in my earlier years that constantly hammered the idea of business practices into my craft of intelligent design.
My frames are not limited to boxes, arrows and lorem ipsum, but rather the intimate connection of an individual engaging a system that was explicitly made to serve them while pushing business objectives based on needs, desires and emotions.
This done correctly will develop deliverables that create brand loyalty and the connection of people regardless of demographics.

Brad, I agree that our focus needs to be more about how we communicate and interact with the business community.

I think there is incredible opportunity to both learn from business leaders and in a reciprocal fashion, facilitate a better understanding of the value our processes can bring to the board room.

It starts with us. It starts with a genuine desire to listen to understand, and then to share from our experience / perspective; not the other way around.

We are seeking respect and an opportunity to help businesses innovate and grow. We can only earn such respect if we show others outside our discipline that their ideas are of value and will continue to be valued within our own processes.

Thanks, Brad. We really appreciate your support and understanding for our rather rambling conversation.

I’d love to hear more about what you found yourself unexpectedly agreeing with – and why.

Thanks, too, for supporting the onward growth of UX through conversation with the business community. This is absolutely critical. I don’t know if you’ve seen the FatDUX blogpost about “10 dos and don’ts of website development for CEOs” but I think you’d enjoy it (http://is.gd/5n4iE). I’ll even be presenting on this at the IA Summit in Phoenix (and if you’re in Savannah next week, I’ll be glad to give you a sneak preview). I also have a talk on Slideshare about the myth of ROI as a business argument. But I digress.

Thanks again for your thoughts – and I (well Jeff, too, I know) look forward to hearing more from you.

Thanks for the great conversation Jeff and Eric.

Talk about a tons of great content in this interview, and I surprisingly found myself agree with certain things that I didn’t think I would.

The key point that is the true gem of this interview is the continued conversation about people in the UX ‘world’ learning to better interact with the business side of things. The stuff we care about, and fight with each other over, doesn’t mean squat to many of the business folks out there. And we when misuse terms and concepts that have concrete meaning in the business world closes more doors than opens.

Thanks for taking the time do this.
