I LOVE MAKING SENSE OF MESSES.
Thinking about
INFORMATION
as material is hard
Information can be
made from the lack
of physical material
Context
Content
Information ≠ Content
Information architecture
is how we arrange the parts to be
understandable as a whole.
3 LESSONS
TO MAKE SENSE OF ANYTHING
#1 LANGUAGE MATTERS
Apple
Dump
truck
Jargon
Banana
??!?!
Word
How many
duplicative nouns
does your team
deal with?
How many
duplicative verbs
are related to
those nouns?
Model Change vs. Label Change
Thing
A
Thing
B
Thing
OBJECTObject
One label per noun or verb
is not always the best way to go
The goal is not simplifying
The goal is to know what you mean
when you say what you say.
Controlled
vocabularies
are the greatest
thing since sliced
bread or pockets.
@jcolman’s thumb showing off my
book’s controlled vocabulary
https://pages.18f.gov/content-guide/plain-language/
Be the one to simplify the
language in your
organization.
#2 THERE IS NO RIGHT WAY
In most contexts, taxonomy is a tool
of rhetoric not an exact science.
(Sorry Linnaeus)
If Fresh Direct classified produce
scientifically, no one would be able
to find anything.
The way you choose to organize your
produce says something about you.
There is no one right way to organize something.
The only thing that matters is reaching your goals.
Beware of corporate underpants.

Users are often confused when our
internal categories end up in our
navigation taxonomies.
Card Sorting FTW
Be the one to show an
alternative way of
organizing something.
#3 WE NEED PICTURES
Pictures give us something in
common to point to.
Take the time and space needed to collect and iterate.
Visualize something hard to explain
Inspire Realistic,
Not Simplistic
Thinking
Pie
Crust
Tomato
Sauce &
cheese
Toppings
Slice
Be Careful of Reductionism
Show the process, not just results
Pizza
Crust
cheese
Toppings
Tomato
Sauce
Familiar
Words
With agreement comes momentum.
Be the one to make a
picture of the monster in
everyone’s head.
• Simplify the language used in your organization
• Show an alternative way of organizing something
• Make a picture of the monster in everyone’s head
To start making sense of your mess:
IA is not just for information architects.
IA is practiced by everybody.
I wrote a book
about information
architecture for
everybody!
