DOCFLOW - what you can do...

'What do you mean - what can be discussed and what to do? '.
I'll try to answer it.

It is necessary to analyze the situation and to choose its own approach. Four approaches are seen:.
a. Not to change anything, leave everything as it was to take part in the previous version.
2. Cease to participate, and will continue to be seen.
3. Trying to somehow influence the organizers that they have something to improve.
4. Do not expend energy on contact with the organizers and try to do something to enhance self-efficacy to participate in the event.

Let us now consider the option 4.

To get started you still need to analyze the essence of the event and those effects, which in principle can be expected from him. Let us now assume that the event is purely a fashion, you like this, the practical benefits (in the form of obtaining new clients, contracts ) are not giving. What comes back is not ' buy' the audience....

Question: what means ' image events '? .

I see two options:.
1) The image is designed specifically for those who came to the exhibition itself.
2) the image is intended for a wider audience (including, for example, to the upper echelons of power) to which it must be communicated through the media.

These questions must be answered by the exhibitors. Depending on the response will need to make an effort to ensure that.
a) came all the same ones who want to convey an image;.
b ) to improve the work with the media to ' feed ' the image of shipping work more effectively.

Now everything will go as an answer to the question formulated. Based on the fact that we can not affect the organizers, the composition of the audience, etc.

a. I think that you need and can reinforce the conference part of the event.
Our IT conference ( it's not just about Dokflou ) - for the most part - are dull and uninteresting. They are held on the Old Testament some diagrams and forms. So we 're talking about new methods of management, social networks, mobility... And look - like organized presentation, the reports! . What should be the moderator ( the one who leads and controls the discussion, rather than simply following the rules of the speaker ). and m. Dr.. and m. n.

I was in the autumn at several conferences of different companies - ' InterTrust,' ' EOS ', '1 C ',... stream of presentations, question-and- no answers, moderators, no round table discussion....

Instead of improving the quality of the conference, we are trying to take a number of performance. As a result, gets exactly the opposite effect: people stop going to them.

It is necessary to move to a system of round-table discussions. That is now held many activities that are popular (eg, different forums on the Internet, CIO- conferences, etc. ).
And it should not be monovendorskie and multiekspertnye meeting.

Of course, it would be nice if such a reform of the conference organizers have undertaken to. But I think that without them, the participants could agree on the implementation of such pieces.

I have already given an example: last DOCFLOW had pretty good roundtable IBM IT InterTrust. Who prevents build on this experience?.

I wrote a while n. a. to be continued.

Unwritten rules of management.

When communicating with people outside the company, always remember that you represent a company. Be especially careful in their statements.

Even during lunch or after work, you will still represent a company. You can assume that express your personal point of view, while customers, suppliers and everyone else will assume that you are the voice of the official view of the company.

When you say you will do something, it means that your company gives the person an obligation to do so. Think carefully about your application and prepare to answer for their performance. Never make statements about things that are not in your area of ​​responsibility.

The last popular show ' Give advice to someone ' this year - in a hurry to have time to speak!

The first case.

Again, we use pseudonyms to make it easier to target in a situation. There is a Peter. Peter - the owner of a large and serious enough for the office of legal services. Only the budget for domestic spending in Petit is my quarterly turnover. But the crisis came, and Peter had to play chess to save their company. Pete does not get paid customers, so Peter takes someone can money in the hope that one day will pay him. And then begins ' will return in a day ', ' will return tomorrow ', ' Call in two hours '. And there is nothing. Peter has no money, the company alive, but the reputation is firmly committed to zero.

How to get money from the Petit if he does not? . But the wretched 25tys. rubles he had no. Is that suddenly appear through the ' two o'clock ' or ' call tomorrow after 11'. It is clear that Peter sold the car bucks for the stuff will not, and the time left until the funny - he held for three days without giving three weeks. War with Peter does not need anyone, but what if a person does not keep the word?.

The case of second.

There are a manager, Mary. Masha - a good person with experience, such is not that uncommon, but not lying on the street. Maria knows his job and does it well. Of course, Mary is conservative, blunt and not particularly want to develop professionally, believing that others know the worse, but it is minor compared with the personal problems of Masha. Masha - loser. Masha soon for many years, and in front of any flat or constant guy, no car, and the work does not threaten the stability of. Salary Masha helps not to starve, but to realize their dreams of a blue sky and azure sea, it more than once every two years is unlikely to. Maria dreams of a prince, but still no prince, and the rest are sleeping with her, because Mary is easy to give and does not zamarachivaetsya to relations with the plebeians, as it were Mary is not ready to build relationships.

And everything is good, but now Masha constant temper tantrums. Her younger than her boss, her naparnitsa commute to work by car and about to get married. Therefore, clients are regularly listen to her all that she thinks. And the office after the on- tube diverges materok more peculiar beer stand. At any comments Masha sulk and smoke escapes. And more and more from Masha's turmoil, which die down to a time when there is Masha's boyfriend and a couple of days after the salary.

What to do boss Masha? . Search for her boyfriend or establish her ​​personal life - beyond the competence and do not need to go into this dark.

I was always behind the scenes watching the situation in both cases, reserving his advice to the last. As it is known that at least advice and easy to give, but it is not easy to accept the burden of responsibility for it. Therefore, I rely entirely on the collective wisdom and the triumph of Anonymus.
