knowledge on leadership, coaching etc. at his new website

Design makes a big difference

By Rajesh Setty on Sat 02 Jul 2005, 9:02 AM - Leave Comment

Yesterday the broadband connection at my home was down and after fiddling around a bit I figured out that it was because our phone line was down. Getting the phone line fixed became a priority as without that I won’t have broadband :(
 
I called SBC, the local phone service provider. As usual, I had to go through “finger gym” to keep entering information on the phone. In fact, I was “talking” to a system for a long time. Here was one piece of conversation with the system that made me smile
 
System: “Please select from the following six options 1. If your phone is dead select 1…”
Me: [Pressed 1]
System: “If you are calling from the phone that has a problem press 1…”
 
Since I come from a programming background and was involved in several Computer Telephone Integration (CTI) projects, I know that you could have fixed this problem and made the system look more intelligent.
 
In summary, if you want to look smart and sophisticated, give a lot of emphasis to design.

1st of July – Time to revisit goals

By Rajesh Setty on Fri 01 Jul 2005, 7:30 AM - Leave Comment

Today is a significant day. No, not because 4th of July is around the corner!

We completed half of 2005 yesterday and today is the start of the other half.

May be it’s time for all of us to stay silent for a few minutes and
reflect on the first half of the year. For those us who have set some
annual goals, it is time to see where we are on those goals. You have
should have made measurable progress as half year is a reasonable time
to achieve something significant. If not, our work is cut out for the
rest of the year.

I want to wish you the very best for the rest of the year. Time flies.
Before you realize it, it will be the end of the year. Think about this
for a few minutes:

“How can you make the rest of the year 10x better than the first half of the year? What could you do differently?”
