The remedial case is that a poorly designed business-centered site will take on the hierarchical information structure of the company, whereas an expert or user centered site is closer to a true web form. The advanced approach is to use dynamic technology to configure a "site" for each user or user group on the fly! What portals like Yahoo try to do.
