Show Notes
It's essential for information and records folks to collaborate, and the hosts of Information Revolution thought it was past time we had a real designer on the show. Amy Stoks from Good People talks about human centred design, two of the possible objectives of discovery, and hopefully avoids an existential crisis! With your hosts: Karl Melrose (Castlepoint Systems) Judi Vernau (Metataxis NZ) Michael Upton (Metataxis NZ)

A short note to acknowledge that we haven't done an episode this year and to confirm that we are not sure when we will be back.
In our last episode before we take an end of year break, we had the pleasure of talking with taxonomy consultant Helen Lippell, editor of the book Taxonomies and programme chair of the Taxonomy Boot Camp. We talked about the value of semantic work, the cost-effectiveness of keeping a taxonomy fed and watered, and, of course, how well these tools support the use of AI. Somehow we collectively hallucinated the existence of "Canada Airlines" - and in the context of discussing the relative accuracy of people and technologies! Perfect.With your hosts:
What does it take to bring together a library of your organisation's valued information? Alison Jones tells her story with a focus on her current role at Atlassian. Go back to episode 43 to hear the conversation sparked by Alison's LinkedIn posts, which Karl refers to in this episode. With your hosts:
Welcome back to our guest Adrian Kearns! We thought last episode was fruitful enough that we should go another round. Testable strategy, learning how to influence, and more. A couple of bonus blog posts from Adrian you should definitely read: How to influence at work: https://morphological.wordpress.com/2024/11/21/how-to-influence-at-work/ Four traps experienced solution architects fall into and how to mitigate them: https://morphological.wordpress.com/2021/01/27/four-traps-experienced-solution-architects-fall-into-and-how-to-mitigate-them/ With your hosts:
As part of an occasional series trying to join some dots between information management, information architecture, and other professions, we invited Adrian Kearns to come in and talk about what he does, the kinds of problems architects try and solve, and some of the ways he tries to go about it. While Michael battles with a touch of the laggy video, we have some good discussion about throwing technology at something that isn't a technology problem, the good ol' Five Whys technique, loose coupling, and more!
