Building IA means building local groups
Information architects of the world, unite! Writing in the ASIS&T Bulletin, Stacy Surla highlights some of the challenges that IAs around the world are facing in developing the profession’s identity. She includes comments from Jason Hobbs (South Africa), Wolf Nöding (Germany) and Javier Velasco (Chile), IAs who are leading the development of the profession in their respective parts of the world.
Stacy writes:
Face-to-face or across networks, local groups are bringing an ideal into being—a place where people can get together, drink beer and coffee, spread their deliverables out on the table, share encouragement and ideas, and plan the next Big Thing.
The IA Institute has a local groups initiative, which aims to help IAs organize events to help build a spirit of community (and identity) amongst peers. This is an important effort, I encourage you to check it out.
