Well of course not new to me, he said with his nose in the air. But bringing design to business processes can certainly be a highly creative process. I also wonder what SOA is in this sort of thing. Service Oriented Architecture? Service to whom? Somehow this architecture loses sight of the customer/person. Good design or architecture is a form of (virtually) tactile communication in my opinion. It is the cutting edge or twilight zone between communication and hard facts. I like this because it also puts creativity in a new perspective.

Other than the obvious. People just don't care enough about the customer. That will change.

Has anyone wondered why in this day and age, cars still don't come with a user manual that actually talks about the things your particular machine does actually have, instead of 'where applicable/present' ?

I find creativity in form and utility is one of the most satisfying human experiences.
