To be a self-employed worker: expenses of starting activity and management

  Among the many things as self-employed worker I have inserted for ATECO codes, the main activity interested me more at the level of analysis and professional development.  It’s about organization and management not only for that I have built as visual artist, but also and expecially for the important step towards consultancy to third parts.  Among the many analysis in these years of self-employed worker I retain of particularly importance the expenses of starting activity and the expenses of management of the activity.  The expenses and the management aren’t indifferent and they are essential to understand the probabilities to hold not only the national market but also and expecially the global market.  It’s a way to evaluate the possible earnings commensurate to the management in the time and to evaluate the feasibility of self-employed work. Either in the case of starting the activity or management, the main cost is the official headquarters either for studi...

The method 5W2H in the design and in the project management

 


In the context of design and project management are used methods or charts ground to proceed in consolidate way to design so to not distract the designer from main objective. 

One of these is the 5W2H method that it is based on seven questions or seven pivot points on which either the project or the designer have to respond and from which it cannot escape in the design process. 

The seven questions are listed below: 

  1.     What 
  2.     Why 
  3.     Where 
  4.     When 
  5.     Who 
  6.     How 
  7.     How much 
In the context where it is applied the method, we have as first point WHAT that it represents the problem to solve, a product to create or an objective to reach in the context of design, of management or of communication. 

We have as secont point WHY that they are the motivations to solve or the necessities that they take to design or to reach the objectives in the context of the design or in the process of problem solving. 

The third point is WHERE that it represents the place, the context or the platforms involved in the design and in the project management. 

The fourth point is WHEN that they are the times necessary to the design and the development with the related maturities and deliveries. 

The fifth point is WHO that they are the individuals to which the project is addressed, the actors involved in the design iter and for extension the teams that they have to design or to manage the project. 

The sixth point is HOW that they are the methodologies and technologies to use for the development and the management of the project. 

The seventh point is HOW MUCH that they are the money necessary or the budget to assign for the design or the project management. 

The 5W2H method is a valid model not only for the design and the project management but also to validate the projects in the case of verification or of acceptance from the business angels and other stakeholders involved in the design iter. 

The method consents to see the seven points not only from the point of view of designer but also from the point of view of final user, usually a consumer or service user, and it consents to the business angel to evaluate if it's possible approve the project acconding to the answer or the reaction of the possible consumers.

Creative and security information specialist: the indipendence is an imperfect world of freedom

  I was hoping don’t write again a critical post on some arguments because this publication is born with a different purpose, but the persistence of events not related to my will oblige me to write again a critical post. The indipendence and the freedom of thinking taught me by my parents, in south of Italy they often clashed with events didn’t depend from my will but from the circumstances where the diversity and the creativity aren’t view as an added value that can innovate a process for the improvement of society.  Before me, many independent creatives and ethical hackers have talk about this subject, I could have to refrain to speak but I’m a creative coder and sometimes I don’t accept the interference of some people that aren’t in the sector of creativity and computing.  Many people define itself “creative”or “security information specialist”, also when it’s not so.  A client call a physician, a lawyer or an accountant because you need of that professional worke...

Notes from creative journey: “The thinking behind design”

  I begin again to write after a long time of silence and after I have kept at a safe distance the world of writing. It’s not easy to return on one’s steps, especially if you are a visual creative who uses the writing for the necessary to explain the own projects.  It’s hard to explain to people who read you, the reasons which take you to open a publication on web, it’s hard to not think how you can make known the arguments each time you will discuss if you know these arguments are not common but there are few people interested them.  I think the first post must be a preface on what we would like write in the following posts. It must represent our imaginary line on which to pin down the topics we would like to talk about, a reference for all those times we lose sight the pourpose for which to write, a note to be read every time it’s missing the reasons to continue, an engagement to be revise to the need to reorganize own work in a new viewpoint and under new scenary....

From concept design to reality: from fractals to design

  The accomplishment of a concept goes across a long way of many phase until the arrive of the product design to market where a client can buy it and the company can verify if the product collects the consent and the expetation of clients.  If a design competition represents a way to see a great deal of possible concept or not, the accomplishment of a marketable concept is rather different. In architecture it's known before of a preliminary project there is an important step that it's to have a committment and a real demand of the architectural project respondent to the necessity of a service for city or people.  In the design it's seems similar but the planning of an object is tied to the possible industrial production and if there isn't the market or clients for that product it's useles to begin a path for the concept design to the realized product.  To plan, any object or in any scale, it's a complex operation. It supposes a synthesis of function, technique, ...
