Jobs: Roman Zaitsev, an expert on the construction and implementation of business processes

Hello. It turned out that getting to know the different jobs people have found that there is something to share with you about his "office." I had to work in different countries, cities and companies. When dealing with a large number of people and spending a lot of time on business trips, I learned to appreciate their most important workplace - home "office". Created with his own hands the table, it has always been and is the best place to work, creativity and concentration. It is here that were born the best ideas and best projects acquired form.

What I do?

My work is very exciting, and combines two seemingly incompatible, aspects - creativity and rigorous analysis. I am engaged in the development and implementation of business processes. I was invited when the company before there is an urgent need to change something. As a rule, such a need is related to the decline in the effectiveness of the company or its subsidiaries, reduced revenue, increased costs and other "troubles". My task - to come to understand the causes of problems, simulate and formalize the processes in an optimal form, to implement these processes to make them work as it should, make sure that everything works perfectly and with a smile, hand over the reins owner.

I had to work in the US video rental business films. In Sweden in the field of marketing. In Russia, mainly worked in the field of telecommunications - Beeline, Tele2, Netbynet, Strela telecom and others. Although there have been projects in the manufacturing, distribution, logistics and, of course, marketing. At present I am a consultant and helping clients to establish processes and finding interesting solutions.

How does my workplace?

My desk is a mini office. At the time, he designed it, had ordered the cut of my drawings and then assembled. But it is better to show than to tell. So here it is.

There are a lot of interesting gizmos, but first things first.

Iron.

• 13 inch MacBook Air 2011 in the maximum configuration - at the time of acquisition of a light, thin and mobile laptop on the market was not. Therefore, the choice fell on the Air. With OS X before the case was not, so that actually bought a "pig in a poke." And not lost. Since then, on the PC look with apprehension. My laptop has repeatedly been flooded with coffee and tea, I passed all the tests on the go and has gone through 2 repair. All for no nothing.
• 23 inch Acer monitor. Multiple monitors are needed because constantly working with different instruments and programs at a time. And I just like Acer.
• iPad 2. The main task of this unit to replace a laptop when they are difficult to use - on the train, at the airport. The second task is to perform the functions of the library and reading room. By the way, I read books on it only. In addition, the iPad has become an indispensable tool in meetings.
• iPhone 5. Without this device I do not feel comfortable. In it all - music, a reading from the category of "5 minutes", all for training, taxi, scanner, notes, etc.
• iKeyboard. I have a lot to write and for me this is the most comfortable keyboard.
• Magic mouse. Pleasant addition to all the other devices. It is true for games still use the mouse from Logitech.
• Track pad - rather than the whim of a functional device.
• 2 Seagate external hard drive to 1TB and 500GB. One for another backup to dump everything in the world
• Audio Microlab system. As in "The Adventures of Dunno" - the main thing that was loud! I like to work with the music.

For all who are in the head put a tick "next Yabloko", I want to note that to this choice was a long time and quite deliberately. Various gadgets use since 2002. Which only devices I was not! But in the end... Apple.

gizmo

Oddly, but all of that little thing that randomly scattered on the shelves, is an inherent part of the working process. There is a purely functional detail - flash drives, batteries, pens, etc. And there are very individual. For example, here are the figures.

Sometimes in search of ideas, I twist them in their hands, or simply consider.

There are very strange objects - a box of cigar, a skein of blue electrical tape, reflective tape and even a hookah. Last week, the place of honor on the shelf took a bicycle helmet, literally saved me.

BY

an impressive list.

• Omniplan - the best project planner to the Mac. Compatible with MS Project.
• Omnigraffle - optimized for the production of graphs and charts.
• Mail - a native of OS X. Folders and filters tuned "for themselves." Mail is good because that has exactly those functions that are needed mailer. Nothing extra. By the way, at the end of each day, my inbox completely cleaned and disassembled. Empty box - the end of the working day.
• Safari - I do not see better than other browsers, and the native and communicates with gestures.
• iCalendar - all I need to have the calendar here.

• Audiobook builder - convert mp3 to audiobook format for Apple.
• Clean my mac - to keep your computer clean.
• Curio - one of the most important programs. It allows you to make interactive charts, mind maps, structure Old and so on and so forth. By and large, can replace Curio and notebook, and MindManager, and any directory. Highly recommend!

• My life organized - IMHO the best software for task management. ABOUT its system of task management I have already described.
• MS Office, MS Project - is necessary to hold and use on the job.

Notepads, stickers, leaflets ...

Yes, all of this use. In spite of my love for gadgets, paper has its own, unique properties. Special love for linovanym, yellow notepad A4. When looking at a blank sheet of notebook you always want to write something. But in the end all the records on pieces of paper still carried in the figure. The sheet is absolutely necessary to tear and discard. So I put an end to a certain stage. Stickers is a separate conversation. Often I use them to create a certain similarity mind map directly on the surface of your desktop. Glue the leaves and group them - is not the same as doing it in the program. Working with paper, in my opinion, it helps concentration and creative thinking. When the "map" all ready transferred to a computer and already is detailed here.

books

Since the iPad has appeared reading paper books it has become a rarity. Still, I like the "real" book. Often I buy the paper version after you have read the figures. The "office" are relevant for today, must-be-at-hand... or almost takJ

What is missing

I dream of an interactive surface of the table when any portion can be both a monitor and a manipulator. In principle, this can be realized, but it is worth fabulous money. Still very much want to be able to operate a computer without taking your hands. Like the movie "Minority Report" and "Iron Man." So as soon as I saw the projects MYO and Leap motion just order it. Now I am waiting for the miracle device.

Summing resume - most of all I would like to be able to interact with the AI ​​does not employ manipulators. Apparently a picture from the movie "The Lawnmower Man" in childhood is strongly etched in my memory.

On my way

To work in the way I prepare in advance. In my scheduler is a separate section with tasks that need to be done on the road. I do not know why it happens, but some things better than getting in the way. For example: preparing the presentation structure, work planning, structuring documents, preparation of reports, etc. However, even in the way I use two monitors - laptop and iPad.

efficiency rules

1. Do not keep the task in mind. All we need to write and to determine when and what to do about it.
2. Structuring and planning.
3. Combination of paper and gadgets.
4. Convenient software.
5. Music - and may start to calm. Dopping to order;)
6. Sport. Running perfectly clears the head.
7. Time to think. It is important to periodically stop and look around quietly. This is the time when you can think calmly and not to run forward at breakneck speed.
8. Loneliness. Alone, each sees himself as what he really is. A. Schopenhauer
