Who is the “User-Interest”?

The University of Michigan

Who it is. Why it matters. Why our way is better for the education communities which lie at the foundation of every economic sector in every nation.

The Standards Michigan platform routinely refers to the “User-Interest” in the global standards system and the dominance of “niche verticals” that determine the cost of education communities for the final fiduciary. Today at 11 AM/ET we drill deeper into this claim by reviewing the roster of a few technical committees administered by standards setting organizations. The dominance of every interest group over the user-interest will be in plain sight. You will also see that the dominance of all other stakeholders over the user-interest is not the fault of the niche verticals. It is the fault of the user-interest and may be an unresolvable “wicked problem”.
