33 Tangents - Episode #18 - Billing Models
Friday Aug 31, 2018
Friday Aug 31, 2018
This week, Jim, Jon, and Jason dig into one of Jason’s favorite topic - agency billing models. Traditionally, agencies and consulting firms bill by the hour. Every minute an employee spends working with a client needs to billed to them. Employees are also pressured to make sure they maintain a high rate of billable time each week. What are the problems that can arise from this? Are there other ways to run an agency or consultancy? What are the pros and cons of other models?

#15 - Keeping things simple and the paradox of more data
Friday Aug 10, 2018
Friday Aug 10, 2018
Having more data available is always good and you can never have enough, right? What could go wrong with having many sources of data? This week Jim, Jason, and Jon tackle the paradox of having too much data and what leads to it. Often times we see organizations that are struggling to understand exactly what to track so they become stuck in a cycle of implementing one tool after another thinking the technology itself will solve the problem. Without investing in the right people, they end up with a situation where there is too much information and no one to make any sense of it.

#14 - Being “Always On” and Distractions
Friday Aug 03, 2018
Friday Aug 03, 2018
This week Jim, Jon, and Jason discuss two different, yet related problems faced by remote workers today. The first is the concept of being “always on”. The expectation, explicitly stated or implied, that you’re always accessible via phone, or email, or a messaging platform such as Slack. The second piece is distractions. This could be the latest email that comes into your inbox, the tweet you just got, or the alert that just popped up on your phone. Both of these take discipline to manage to prevent being thrown off track. How can these be dealt with? What are some of the steps that can be taken to manage them?
