• DMI: The Designful Company (pdf)
  In a challenging business environment, there is no substitute for having an innovative and distinctive brand expressed in "experiences that rivet minds and run away with hearts."

• Little Springs Design: You and your UX department
  "A common refrain is, that UX should never be a department, but must be ingrained in the company. The theory is that if it's one department then no one else will bother to work on it. There's only one problem with that concept: no one but us UX folks have this discussion. There is no reason good design, or user-centered-anything will occur without an organizational structure to guide them to it. You can be sad about this, but I've learned to live with the truth that this is how corporate entities work."
