The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

priorities or your core responsibilities.

9. EFFICIENCY vs EFFECTIVENESS
• Often worst performers are those who seem
to be working hardest and longest. They are
very busy but not necessarily effective.
10. COMMON TIME MANAGEMENT
PROBLEMS : PROCRASTINATION
• Procrastination : Putting off the doing of
something intentionally and habitually.
• If you suspect yourself; ask yourself – why
am I putting this off?. If there is no reason.
Do it. Do not confuse reason with excuse.
• PROCRASTINATION is world’s number
one time waster. Banish it from your life.
There is no time like present to do any
work.
11. COMMON TIME MANAGEMENT
PROBLEMS : POOR DELEGATION
• Do not spend time on a work that can be done
,to a satisfactory level, by your subordinate.
• Delegation saves your time and develops
subordinates
• Delegation improves results by making fuller
use of resources
• Delegation implies transferring initiative and
authority to another
12. THE ART OF DELEGATION
• Delegation begins with a deep sense of the
value and limits of your time.
• Managers often complain that they are
running out of time when their subordinates
are running out of work.
• Delegating the more routine or predictable
part of ones job is only the first step.
• Delegation is not abdication. Some degree
of control needs to be maintained.
13. DIFFICULTIES IN DELEGATION
– It’s risky.
– We enjoy doing things.
– We don’t sit & think.
– It’s a slow process.
– Like to be “top of everything”.
– Will subordinate outstrip us?
– Nobody can do it as well as I can.
• Delegation is a great motivator. It enriches
jobs, improves performance & raises morale
of staff.
14. COMMON TIME MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS
OFFICE MIS-MANAGEMENT
• Develop an efficient system of office working.
• Muddle makes work and wastes time. Strive
for good order in your office.
• Utilise all resources fully.
• Handle telephone properly. Don’t let it
become a nuisance.
• To the extent possible, handle a piece of paper
only once.
15. TIME EFFECTIVENESS IN OFFICES
• Time can be wasted imperceptibly if your work
area is not organised well. Your desk should be
clear of all paper except the specific job on hand.
It invites you to think about one thing at a time.
Concentration is a great time saver.
• Paper work : Recommended principle is “to
handle each piece of paper only once.”
• Sort papers under : FOR ACTION/
FOR INFORMATION/ FOR READING/ FOR
WASTE PAPER
• BOTTOM DRAWER
16. EFFECTIVE WRITING
• Clarity, simplicity and conciseness are
essentials of good writing.
• Think, List and then Arrange.
• Do not cover too many subjects in one
letter.
• Strive to write one page letters. These are
more digestible.
17. MAKE THE TELEPHONE WORK FOR
YOU
• Telephone is a great time-saving tool in
right hands.
• Plan your calls.
• Set aside a period of time for making and if
possible, receiving calls
• Timing for each call.
18. HOW TO CONTROL INTERRUPTIONS
• Set a time limit and stick to it.
• Set the stage in advance : You are very busy with a
deadline in light.
• With casual droppers-in, remain standing.
• Meet in other person’s office.
• Get visitors to the point.
• Be ruthless with time but gracious with people.
• Have a clock available .
• Use a call-back system for telephone calls.
19. YOUR PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANT

Professional Assistant .
• Your PA can help you save time by
– Keeping unwanted callers at bay – by diverting
them to appropriate person.
– Minimizing interruptions; can arrange
interviews suitably.
– Dealing with routine correspondence.
20. COMMON TIME MANAGEMENT
PROBLEMS : MEETINGS
• Meetings are potential time wasters.
• Meetings are necessary evil; distractions from
one’s regular work.
• Try to say ‘No’ to a meeting where you are not
required.
• Agenda should be definite. Every one should
receive the agenda and relevant papers well in
advance.
• There should be a finishing time for meeting.
21. DOs/ DON’Ts FOR
BOSS/CHAIRPERSON/ADMINISTRATOR
• Do not call a meeting unless it is necessary
• Do not call a meeting if the task can be handled by a call
or by a small group through formal/ informal discussion
• Meetings are not required to:
‘Boss around’ or give ‘messages’
Socialise
Rubber stamp decisions
Pass on information
Promote private or hidden agenda
Continue the habit
22. DOs/DON’Ts FOR
BOSS/CHAIRPERSON/ADMINISTRATOR
• Call only those who are involved
• Have a written agenda and circulate to all
along with supporting papers
• Do not over-pack the agenda
• Agenda should not have ‘Any other item’

23. DOs/DON’Ts FOR PARTICIPANTS
• Come prepared (with facts and figures)
• Come on time
• Talk to the point.Do not try to divert the
discussion
• Do not try to hijack the meeting
24. BOSS-IMPOSED TIME
• Time spent doing things we would not be
doing if we did not have bosses.
• Keeping bosses satisfied takes time, but
dealing with dissatisfied bosses takes even
more time.
• Failing to invest sufficient time to satisfy
bosses always results in more & more boss-
imposed time. With lesser time for others.
25. ROLE OF BOSS:BOSS MUST REALISE THAT-
• The time of the subordinate is also important for the
organisation.
• The tasks monitored by you are only part of duties of
subordinate.
• If subordinate is hard pressed for time the quality of
output is bound to suffer.
• System improvements are essential responsibilities of
bosses-particularly those which reduce time being
spend on unimportant/ unnecessary activities
• You can do only one persons work.
• Perfection, at times, becomes counterproductive.
26. ROLE OF SUBORDINATE
• Realise that Boss has a wider vision
• Devote time as per organisational objectives
and your goals
• Go to Boss after doing your home work
• Manage the problems which can be tackled
at your level
27. PLANNING THE DAY
• Prepare a list of priorities for the day based on
urgency and importance.
• Get the timing right.
• Morning is the time for hard work.
• Interesting work, meetings and social events can
take place in off-peak time.
• Have work-breaks to over come fatigue.
• Living 100% in the present improves your work
output.
28. OTHER TIME SAVERS
• Concentration, Avoid interruptions
• Use of committed time
• Good Health
• Do not let your subordinate come to you
with problems unless they bring their
proposed solutions.
29. PROBLEMS OF OVERWORKED
MANAGER
• Why some managers are typically running out
of time while their staff is running out of
work.
– They pick up staff’s job. They enjoy & are good
at it.
– They try to do things efficiently which are not
worth doing at first place. Efficiency Vs
Effectiveness.
• It can be explained by ‘Monkey-on-the-back’
analogy. Monkey is ‘next move’ or problem
or opportunity that comes to us.
30. WHAT IS A MONKEY?
• A monkey is a next move or
an opportunity, or problem
which comes to us.
• ‘Monkey Management’
helps to transform from a
manager under time pressure
to an effective one.
31. MONKEY-ON-THE-BACK
• Some ‘Monkeys’ belong to us. However, greatest
proportion belongs to subordinates.
• Once we pick up ‘Monkeys’ from subordinates
they get message that we want Monkeys.
• By allowing ‘Monkey’ from your subordinates on
to your back you volunteered for two things:
– Accepted responsibility for the problem from him.
– Promised him a progress report.
• Now he will pressurise you to do what actually is
his job.
32. MONKEY-ON-THE-BACK
• Sometimes colleagues also try to pass on
their monkeys.
• Many Bosses are in habit of passing their
monkeys to subordinates.
• This snowballs to upward, sideward &
downward leaping ‘Monkeys’. These take
our all available time with no time to work
on our own ‘Monkeys’.
• So be careful.Do not accept others
monkeys.
33. RECAP
• Yesterday is a cancelled cheque, Tomorrow is a
promisory note,Today is ready cash. Use it.
• When feasible, delegate.
• Don’t let paperwork pile up.
• Do not postpone work.
• Identify your time waster and resolve to eliminate
them.
• Add times for relaxation and recreation in your
schedule.
34. RECAP
• Identify and make use of “up” and “down” time.
• Learn to say “NO.” It is not a crime.
• Make use of committed time – travel time, waiting
time etc.
• Plan the day.
• Set goals and work towards achieving them.
• Keep the Boss happy.
