Gosh, that looks hard to control. However will we tame it?

UXAs at the BBC do three things.
We support others to do IA. We do IA ourselves. We spot opportunities to connect things.

Information architecture always exists.
It’s just not always been considered.

An experiment in intuition.
Another experiment.
Make it make sense. Don’t keep it under wraps.
Great IA is an invisible art.
We find connections and make the most of them.
We’re also careful to make sure different things don’t get tangled.
But sometimes you need to show your working to let others in on the secret.
We think analytically, creatively.
1. Be part of the solution. 2. Architecture enables design. 3. Don’t rely on magic.
But we know that the most important thing in the world is sharing stuff with your friends.
Thanks.
