I do see some areas of progress and your ideas fit well with what we are trying to do. Bundling the UI effort with other corporate projects has a lot of promise. When I get it all figured out, I'll let you know. You brinbg up a couple of good points related to training and how much work it will take to migrate to a new UI. I've used your bibliography extensively. It's very helpful. Thanks for creating this. Phil "Gary PERLMAN" cc: Subject: Re: Establishing internal UI standards 07/31/01 03:50 PM Phil, I am currently working on the same problem, although with different interfaces from different parts of the same company. My immediate reaction is to ask "If you figure that out, will you let me know how?" :-) It's a difficult problem. While I remember, Dave Woods at OSU (Ohio State) is an expert on medical system user interfaces. With everyone doing it right, which seems better than some group thinking they have got serious problems, I think you need to try to involve stakeholders from all areas, which is easier said than done because they need to gain awareness of what others are doing. Call this group of stakeholders the UI Group. While I remember, keep in mind the installed bases of users of these different products. Will a radical change alienate users if only because of the training demand. I've seen at least a few mergers where the same company sells very different UIs to different market segments. Different implementations will differ in how easily they can change, and the cost of change (in time, effort, stress, lost opportunity for other work) will need to be worked in. One approach that I am finding works is to bundle a corporate UI rework into other corporate goals. In our case, it's internationalization and accessibility (section 508). Maybe you can find a way to amortize change over several goals. Back to the UI Group. Maybe let them come up with ways to share methods, standards, and ideally software tools. To motivate them, I'll blindly suggest some usability tests to see which UIs are more right than others. That alone might motivate some change, and it would help the UI Group become familiar with the different products. Well, that's all I can do right after dinner. I do not have any specific books to suggest -- most of the work in this area is done by consultants. If you go to my hcibib.org site, you can get a list of consultants in this area. I can recommend some, but most are unknown to me. If you want to stick to books, my recommended readings are available at hcibib.org, and you can also do some online research there. Good luck!
