Succeeding at IA in the enterprise

I've just had an article on succeeding at IA in the enterprise published on Boxes and Arrows. To quote:

Working within the enterprise, we are confronted with new challenges. There is a lack of clarity around needs and goals, organisational issues are paramount, and the real challenge is making things happen and getting users to adopt the new solutions.

This is the focus of what is often called "enterprise IA", the application of information architecture in complex business environments. To be successful in these situations, we need skills and strategies that focus much more on people than on information.
