Hello,

  I am a graduate student at DePaul University. I am currently doing a
research to understand usability practices in the corporate world(excluding
consulting companies).

Also to understand your usability interests, and what are the key skills a
new usability professional would need.


My research is due Nov 11th,  would anyone be interested to talk to me for
my research. Please let me know at [log in to unmask]


 *Below are some of the things I was interested in knowing [sample]:*

·     Overview of organization

·     Why does the organization have a usability group?

·     When was the usability group started ?

·      Has the purpose/organization of the group evolved ?

·     What techniques/tools (eg. Card sorting) are used by the group ? Why ?
Why not ?

·     What are the deliverables of the group ?

·     When (At what point) does the group become involved in the
organization’s projects/work ?

·     Where does the group fit in the organization ? (org chart/where does
the group report) why ?

·     Has the group fulfilled its promise ?

·     Does the group give your organization competitive advantage ?

·     How would you change it if you could ?

·     Is usability group well-regarded ?

·     How did you first learn about usability?
·     Key skills for usability professional?


Thank you for your time and help,
