Want to get better in business? Learn how to draw.
There’s no faster, cheaper prototype in the world than a sketch on a sheet of paper. What’s unclear in words is suddenly crystal clear in a sketch, and you—and your team—can tackle problems in entirely new ways. Play around with ideas. Document your process. Think on paper. Visual thinking brings a whole new power to work.
Think you can’t draw? Don’t worry! The simplest sketches are the most effective at communication and problem solving, so you can begin drawing in less time than your average coffee break. Learn more, and purchase!

Just a quick translation for everyone else:
On most websites someone has been thinking about IA in the making process, and chosen which buttons and which navigational options will be available on the frontpage. But if you are to believe one of IAs international celebs, the buttons are more or less loosing their functionality.
Instead we use smart search functions, that – when they work as intentionws – let us jump right into precisely where we want to be, and where the information we are looking for is hiding.
Navigation is therefore “just” another element in your presentation, the titles on the buttons is a part of what you would like to represent.
That is, if you ask the american information architect Christina Wodtke, and Harddisken (name of the radio programme) has met her.
