"It’s often said by information designers and architects: "this would have been a great project if it was not for the politics"!"  David Sless, leading international expert in Information Design, says this is not an acceptable excuse.  "The politics is always there and a natural part of any project. If you don’t take the the political aspect of the work into account in a sophisticated way, and they overwhelm you, you have not managed the project professionally."

David Sless will speak at the Oz-IA conference in Sydney this October on the topic of 'The Politics of Information Design'.  The conference is Australia's Information Architecture Conference and will be held on the 8th and 9th, October, 2010.

He adds, "At last year’s conference I was critical of groups that stumbled when it came to dealing with the political aspects of large projects.This year, I will outline the basic principles and methods needed for the political management of information design projects."
