The Necessity of Personal Freedom to Increase HCI Design Quality

Creativity needs freedom. This must be considered by project managers and senior managers of HCI design organization. The improvement of quality through job enrichment and at the same time saving costs demands personal skills, expertise, motivation and creativity. Creating task models leads to a qualitative high-grade HCI design. Usage-centered design is based upon a user interface derived from a series of models containing interrelated task cases. Nevertheless, creative processes must have been installed. As creativity needs freedom to increase quality and efficiency in general, this should be widely applied. Job-enrichment achieved through expertise, motivation, creativity as well as thorough better planning is an essential step for creating qualitative HCI design.
