Project Manager: So we have to go through now evaluations So your slides are ready ? you are four I think So this is one which one is this one ?
Marketing: I I const I constructed a a list of criteria based on the on the general user requirements And each criteria is will be evaluated it is logical criteria so we must users must say i if it is true or is or if it is false in a in a scale ranging from zero to seven
Industrial Designer: Why this strange factor of seven ?
Marketing: Because i I am sorry Sorry
Industrial Designer: Usually I have seen that scales are from one to ten
Marketing: Ah It is from sorry it is from one to seven It is from from one to seven sorry Because it should be an even it should be an even scale and five is too short and nine is too long I am a I I am
Project Manager: So to have in order to have enough granularity it is in order to have enough granularity in the evaluation
Marketing: The variance is mi it is is minimal I am answering your question And that is the criteria I I found more useful I think I sh I I could write the criteria in the on the whiteboard ? And we all four could range
Industrial Designer: So you can say fancy handy Handy
Marketing: let us let us evaluate if it is fancy or
Industrial Designer: it is fancy according to me So you can add seven plus six plus seven plus
Project Manager: What do you say seven ? Five ?
User Interface: Five maybe maybe maybe six it is it is I guess it is
Industrial Designer: Again I will give seven
User Interface: I would give it a six like I would I think it is probably more handy than my current remote because of the scroll wheels but maybe loses the point for not having you know the extra buttons when you reall if you do need them for some reason but you know you can always use your other remote Well it depends when you say functional do you mean it does what we want it to do or d does what it does you know can it make you coffee ?
Project Manager: for a remote control does he have all the
Marketing: It is compared to the all
Industrial Designer: That is right The standards What is available in the market off the shelf
User Interface: I have to say four
Marketing: Actually I do not know what are the r the real specification of a of a universal remote contro
User Interface: Well it is not a universal remote Remember we are focus we are supposed to focus just on TVs
Marketing: Ah it is not an univer but it is for all kind of TVs ?
User Interface: Well all TVs but only T only TVs I guess
Project Manager: So it is universal but for TVs So s four ?
Industrial Designer: So four point two ?
User Interface: Obviously there are some outliers so
Industrial Designer: There I will give it seven
Marketing: It means cool features like new features actually
Industrial Designer: For a TV the most important feature which I felt was the locator which is a cool feature And then the scroll buttons are again cool features We do not have LCD for it but that we decided we do not want to have
Project Manager: Plus six I say I said seven
User Interface: Because it is five five seven seven so
Project Manager: Seven Seven And you ? Outl you are not lik outlier
User Interface: Alright now here is the sixty million Dollar question well twenty five twenty five Euro question
Project Manager: Of course I will buy the banana
User Interface: What do you what do you guys reckon ?
Marketing: Of cour Of course the most difficult question for the end I find it quite cheap actually I do not know If i i it depends if you live in in Switzerland or you live in
Project Manager: so the target price is for all Europe or only for rich countries ? It is more targeting UK or
Marketing: I do not know Wha the initial specifications were for the whole all Europe or
Project Manager: So this is selling costs not production costs
Marketing: this is the the initial specifications I would say six It is quite cheap actually
Project Manager: Aw should be nice in your
User Interface: I do not want a banana on my living room table a banana remote
Industrial Designer: No but it is really handy actually if you see
User Interface: It is handy it is handy but it it is terrible
Industrial Designer: It is it is so handy And then Anyb anybody who comes here anybody who comes to your home he will at least ask once what is this
User Interface: but it is not a positive thing
Industrial Designer: It is a very positive thing if you see like that
User Interface: Well you know it is it is handy it is ergonomic but it is a banana
Project Manager: Well do not forget well do not for do not forget who we are targeting also who are f f who are wh
User Interface: but it says I I would buy this so
Project Manager: No well I if you would be young Not telling that you are young Li li like a teenager for instance
User Interface: No it is I I would buy
Project Manager: you are you are crazy teenager and you like fun things
Industrial Designer: You with your girlfriend or something
Project Manager: you want to show the beautiful banana you have
Industrial Designer: Or might be it does some other kind of thing but
User Interface: Still I I would say two I do not think I at any stage in my life I would want a banana remote control really
Project Manager: so you s you give
User Interface: I can say maybe there is a market for it I do not know
Project Manager: oh I know I know F I d I say five You say ? So what is the new question ?
Industrial Designer: And you have saved it ? You will have to reload
Marketing: it is two different situations If you really need an universal remote control or if you would change your remote control for a n for a new one
Project Manager: that is two different question
User Interface: If I had t if I had to spend twenty five Euro if that was like my limit maybe I would buy it Because the other twenty five Euro remote controls are probably going to look
Industrial Designer: They are not going to be as And they they might not be a as easy as this
User Interface: And it this is going to f you know handy to use
Marketing: So ? What now ? What range ?
User Interface: Although it still has it still has the word of course at the beginning
Industrial Designer: I go slightly up Six
User Interface: so I do not know
Project Manager: W we have six five
User Interface: I would give it I would give it a I give it a four now
Project Manager: So we are six five four
Marketing: Six so it is five point five or less
Project Manager: So and last question will I change my rem change my remote control from Mando banana zero No we can not No let us say I will put two
User Interface: I would say three I mean my remote control is kind of at home is pretty terrible If it was change my remote control of my DVD player for a Mando banana then I would be more inclined to
Project Manager: It is for the TV
User Interface: but because it is really bad but I would say a three
Industrial Designer: I will still give it five
Project Manager: Two three five two three fi and two
Industrial Designer: So it is somewhere three point five I think
Project Manager: So it is r three point five
Marketing: Who is the outlier ? Wh wh you said five ?
Project Manager: No no you say five he is the outlier just just do a sum
Marketing: I do not know if it is a
User Interface: It is not very promising but you know we are not young trendsetters
Marketing: No because there are more we should not sum like that
Project Manager: Well maybe we should we should have a look globally glob
Marketing: Because the the last two questions is much more important than the rest actually Otherwise we would not we will not sell
User Interface: Is there some some formula you are using that says you have to sum them up ?
Marketing: no I did not anything
User Interface: Well just leave it at that then
Project Manager: So maybe maybe w we can we should stick to general feeling We can had have a out of these numbers which which is that well we should go for it
Marketing: Do you want me to sum
Industrial Designer: it is it is funny
Marketing: o I think it is not
User Interface: I think it it kind of you just lose information if you sum it so
Project Manager: So let us move let us move on | Marketing constructed a list of evaluation criteria based on the general user requirement. The group had an evaluation on the prototype, and they agreed it was a fancy, handy, and cool device that was easy to use. While User Interface disagreed with the criteria on whether people would change their remote control for a new one because he thought the banana didn't have a positive impression and it might have a market for young people. |

#Person1#: How do you think a manager should react to an employee's unsatisfactory work?
#Person2#: If I were a manager, I would have a private talk with this employee to figure out the reasons. It is very important to have this one-to-one discussion in an unthreatening situation without any distraction.
#Person1#: Exactly, I overheard a manager scold his employee in the elevator this morning, they were from the company on the 12th floor, I guess. They were only three of us in the elevator, I felt very embarrassed to be in the middle of them.
#Person2#: Well, I guess the employee would feel more embarrassed and probably angry. Anyway, it is not wise at all to give a harsh time to your employee in front of others, especially strangers.

Caron: I'm not quite sure what he is getting at here, when he says you always say they are lovely ladies, is he having a go or what?
Rob: No I don’t think so I think he is just giving an update, although not done in the most tactful way. I would just thank him for the update and hope the last session goes ok and to mention if he feels it’s too much risk to abandon the session, as they are in their rights to do so
Caron: I have been thinking about this one.. what was he doing taking her out on a motorway on the first session? I did say from the start this was to build her confidence
Rob: Dave is normally really good often we take people out on motorways on first session as they are the safest types of roads, and in South Wales there are quieter parts he probably took her on
Caron: Oh its just that in our emails we do say that we start with quieter simple roads
Rob: We can start on quieter roads but thats just a general list of things, and in reality it can vary from driver to driver. Sometimes quieter roads, can just be 1hr or less to get warmed up, other times a full session is needed
Caron: Ok I am going to email her to say that he will carry on in his own car for the rest of the sessions, it was only the last one she was going to attempt to use her own.. do we charge her the extra 20?
Rob: Lets just see what David does as sometimes they use a car without charging us if its their decision
Caron: ok
Rob: She may need further training
Caron: it does seem that way doesn't it?
Rob: Well if Dave cant sort her out then I pity south wales lol | Caron compalins about Dave's methods of conducting training. Dave took a lady on the motorway on their first session.
