I organized a day-long pre-conference workshop for the 2008 Information Architecture Summit, which was held in Miami, FL. In the workshop we explored leadership as it relates to IA from two perspectives: how IAs can become effective leaders in their organizations (and in society as a whole), and how IA skills and processes can make managers and organizations—of any type— more effective.
Workshop sessions were led by an world-class roster of speakers: Christopher Fahey, Margaret Hanley, Harry Max, Karen McGrane, and Josh Rubin. We also held a screening of Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure, an extraordinary short film about leadership.
