I was sent this by a fellow student about the state of the UK internet economy worth billions, i thought it would be ideal to share this. It sorta contrdicts what we have been tought on other units - as in not to alway believe the media hype, but numbers dont lie is what i say.
Enjoy

IS CLIC'D
Well after almost four weeks of hard grunt and reading around the subject area of Information Systems, I was invited amongst other second year students to a final unit with a guest speaker about a methodology by the name of CLIC - Client Led Information Systems Creation developed by acclaimed Professor Frank Stowell.
This was truly the missing jigsaw puzzle for this unit, it provided me with the ability to think about how to apply any methodology to a given case.
This methodology places the Client in the centre of the system being developed. To me personally it seems as a logical method to design a system as the Client is more involved, and therefore less likely to reject a system that they had a major role in developing.
With this new foundation, I was able to look at the ETHICS (Effective Technical & Human Implementation of Computer Based Systems) methodology with a much more open mind, to appreciate the clients role, and why one might decide to use this methodology. It all seemed to fit.
There is obviously a lot more to learn about both methods - and to be frank I'm very excited to compare these two methodologies at a later date and hopefully evaluate which one is ideal for any project.
