Fave idea of the week : June 27th, 2008

June 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment · fave ideas


 

This quote comes from Brandon. He presented at an IxDA-SF meeting, speaking on a panel about What is Design Worth? He came out with this zinger when talking about metrics, management and the balance of design as inspiration and design as business.

I’ve worked in passion-driven environments, and they can be wonderful. But sometimes the higher ideals and the passion becomes a proxy for good decision-making. Just because you’re aiming at a higher goal doesn’t mean that an idea will work. It’s a careful balance, and one that is important to maintain. I hereby vow to try to be as right as I am passionate, heh.

    Amen. That is a tough balance. Hard enough to balance yourself — harder still to lead and teach people that balance. Excellent idea.

    Thanks Kate (and Brandon).
