I appreciate the information you sent. We are currently investigating alternatives, but are still interested in the possibility of having you teach the Practical Usability Evaluation class. You mentioned that January would be a difficult time for you to get away.

I am looking to bring someone to Intuit to teach discount usability methods to a group of 20 to 50 product developers and marketers. Intuit has an excellent reputation for being customer oriented. We have beautiful usability labs and excellent customer research programs. What we don't have is a product development process that makes use of quick usability evaluation methods that allow for iterative design refinement. I am looking for someone who could bring such information to Intuit. You taught "Practical Usability Evaluation" at CHI 97. I thought perhaps you or someone you could recommend might be interested in teaching a similar course here at Intuit. I would appreciate any help you could offer.
