HBS Knowledge and Library Services invites you join us to hear Peter Morville – THE guru of web information architecture, search and findability – give an exciting and timely presentation to the HBS community. The talk will take place Thursday, March 15 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. in Cumnock 102. You are welcome to bring your lunch. Cookies and beverages will be provided.  Please pass this invitation on to anyone in your organization who you think would be interested and would benefit from attending.

Peter summarizes his talk this way:
“At the crossroads of ubiquitous computing and the Internet, information blurs the boundaries between products and services to enable cross-channel, trans-media, physical-digital user experiences. 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.”

Peter Morville is a writer, speaker, and consultant. He is best known for helping to create the discipline of information architecture. His bestselling books include Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, Ambient Findability, and Search Patterns. He advises such clients as AT&T, HP, IBM, the Library of Congress, Macy's, Microsoft, the National Cancer Institute, Vodafone, and the Weather Channel. His work on information architecture and user experience strategy has been covered by Business Week, The Economist, Fortune, NPR, and The Wall Street Journal. Peter lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan with his wife, two daughters, and a dog named Knowsy. He blogs at findability.org<http://findability.org>.
