“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Passera, Stefania and Haapio, Helena (2011): Facilitating collaboration through contract visualization and modularization. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 57-60.

“Motivation -- To change the way contracts are perceived, designed and communicated in order to improve their usability as tools for inter-firm collaboration. Research approach -- Work-in-progress: a literature review and interviews with participating companies will be used to determine the detailed research plan and the design of the prototypes and tests that will follow. Findings/Design -- Preliminary results and discussions with participating companies suggest that tremendous opportunities exist for improving the ergonomics and usability of complex commercial contracts through visualization and modularization. New tools and approaches are needed to change researchers' and business managers' attitudes towards contracts. Visualization and modularization seem to offer such tools. Further approaches from the field of cognitive ergonomics are welcome to be explored in our research. Take away message -- Contracts are not just legal documents, they are artefacts designed by people for people in order to succeed in collaborative ventures. The time has come to turn cross-professional research teams' attention to improving the usability and communication of inter-firm contracts.”
