Enterprise Information Architecture

Unexpectedly, I'll be attending Lou Rosenfeld's Enterprise Information Architecture seminar on September 14 in Chicago. He'll be talking about "tying together content in a rational, user-centered way, regardless of content ownership issues, cultural hurdles, and turf battles..."

After years of working at it, I wonder if the cultural hurdles and turf battles can indeed be overcome. No one appreciates good information architecture more than I do but is it time to move on? With newer and more interesting ways of finding content, do sites need IA? I hope to get the chance to ask.

If you're attending, be sure to say hi!
