    Abstract: Like any committed organization, your company wants to attract and keep loyal employees who are creatively productive and engaged with their work. And those workers want to be appreciated for the job they do. This report shows you how to align both goals, with guidelines for a powerful process that's often undervalued: one-on-one meetings between managers (or team leaders) and the people in their charge. Author Esther Schindler explains that one-on-one meetings can help managers break down barriers, give and receive useful and immediate feedback, and ultimately build team loyalty. With the best practices in this report, you can transform these meetings from an irritating waste of time into a valuable "special time" for both workers and managers. Learn why one-on-ones are important for developing trust, aligning tasks, and mentoring Conduct these meetings as a conversation-and don't be afraid to be personal Make the process work by scheduling recurring meetings and building in follow-up Get guidelines for what (and what not) to talk about during one-on-one meetings and for dealing with tricky situations and negative feedback Judge your success with a checklist for self-assessment Esther Schindler is a longtime tech industry journalist who's translated geek-talk into English since 1992. She loves to explain how technology can, indeed, improve the quality of life. Find her on Twitter at estherschindler. Bring chocolate.

    Abstract: If you want to create solutions that really provide value, the first step is to understand your customer's experience. Mapping those experiences is the best way to accomplish that, but while many assume that mapping requires heavy upfront research and hi-fidelity visualizations, that need not be the case. In this report, author Jim Kalbach explains how teams in your organization can co-create these diagrams in only a couple of weeks. Product and brand managers, marketing specialists, and business owners will learn the importance of mapping, along with general processes for creating customer experience diagrams. Whether you know these diagrams as customer journey maps, experience maps, service blueprints, or something else entirely, this report provides specific techniques for accelerating each stage of map creation. You'll learn how to: Initiate: define the scope, focus, and structure of your project, as well as how you intend to use the map Investigate: learn rapid techniques for conducting the internal and external research you need to create your diagram Illustrate: help others visualize the experience and find a common understanding Align: use workshops to evaluate the mapping effort and produce actionable ideas

    Abstract: Customers who have inconsistent, broken experiences with products and services are understandably frustrated.

With this unique tool, you can visually map your existing customer experience and envision future solutions. Product and brand managers, marketing specialists, and business owners will learn how experience diagramming can help determine where business goals and customer perspectives intersect. Once you're armed with this data, you can provide users with real value. Mapping Experiences is divided into three parts: Understand the underlying principles of diagramming, and discover how these diagrams can inform strategy Learn how to create diagrams with the four iterative modes in the mapping process: setting up a mapping initiative, investigating the evidence, visualizing the process, and using diagrams in workshops and experiments See key diagrams in action, including service blueprints, customer journey maps, experience maps, mental models, and spatial maps and ecosystem models

    Abstract: Telecommuting is an incredible way to work, especially for programmers and other tech workers. Besides the advantages of working from your own home (and avoiding rush hour), remote work offers independence, flexibility, and more control over your work environment. But it definitely has its challenges and tradeoffs. This report is packed with advice to help you make a success of telecommuting, whether you're an individual telecommuter, a team member, or a manager. Author Esther Schindler explains that successful telecommuting requires good communication skills, trust among colleagues, and shared dedication to accomplishing team goals. With this report, you'll learn to address two main challenges: how to organize your own life as a telecommuter, and how to work as part of a larger team. Manage your telecommuting life: create your own office space and give structure to your day Beat the workaholic syndrome so common with remote workers Define firm "on the job" times while making family a part of your daily routine Make yourself visible: stay in sync with colleagues through frequent and clear communication Find ways to collaborate with your team, including brainstorming sessions Deal with common technology problems you're likely to encounter
