Performance systems are generally part of the management systems in many organisations. I was attempting to show that in intranets that do IA/UX (whether they know it or not) it is generally confined to the intranet and often only involves structuring the management systems, transactions and other explicit information. I absolutely agree that people can have many hats on especially in intranets where resource is usually cut to the bone. Part of what I was trying to do was show that the information system should be considered and governed as one thing which, in many cases, might give intranet and other enterprise information workers a different perspective on what they do. Look forward to your comments on Part 2 (when I get it written!) Patrick Thom,

Some thoughts: You have IA/UX roles floating in the middle of the EIS. That tells a different story. Story one: here is the system. Story two: here is IA/UX role in the system. If you tell story two you'll often find the same people working jobs for both systems. I also wonder where performance systems fit in. Sometimes the IA/UX person works on a systematic solution directed at helping employees get their jobs done. This is not typical "Intranet" content and is not supported by typical Intranet structure. Just some thoughts. th Nice envisioning/visualizing Enterprise-wide information systems.
