  26. So, what’s next… • Focus on the user experience and not on the data, records, etc. It may be messier but the pay-off is much bigger! • Focus on what’s relevant not just what you’ve got. • Discovery, Creation, Invention, Learning, Insight, Decisions… • Understand the User’s real needs – and BIG HINT – they don’t need information for information’s sake. • Focus on radical trust and user involvement in every last instant - right down to the record and the metadata. Ouch.
