This offers an unprecedented opportunity to reimagine information architecture. Never before have we been able to employ such a powerful combination of networks, devices, and sensors to capture and share knowledge and to create meaningful user journeys. In this hour, we'll connect the dots between classic and cross-channel information architecture. We'll pay special attention to the integration of mobile and social into a ‘web strategy’ that's responsive and future-friendly, while also highlighting key relationships with content strategy, findability, analytics, and governance. And, we’ll explore how experience maps and ‘IA thinking’ can improve the process and product of information architecture and user experience design.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#002060">Peter Morville is a writer, speaker, and consultant.
