Dear Jerry, Terry, Chris, and all,
Beyond regional semantics of the terms "constituency", "stakeholders",
"shareholders", "community leaders", "political representatives",
"bureaucratic civil servants" etc., etc., wouldn't it be appropriate
for designers, prior to dealing with all these others' respective
agendas and desiderata, just to focus first, as the profession exclusive
expertise, on specific usage requirements of those who:
1. purchase whatever we design
2. operate the artifacts, especially when these are of material kind
3. indirectly partake in the operation of drawing desired services from
the artifact
4. directly beneficiate from the services rendered by the way of the
artifact
5. adversely affected by the artifact throughout and all along its
operation
Any further thought on this?
Kind regards
Francois
Montreal
