The Product.LiveBook Review of "The Design of Everyday Things" on The BookClubبالعربي with Nael Shaker (Arabic)نسألكم الفاتحة والدعاء للمرحوم نائل محمد شاكر مؤسس سلسلة BookClub بالعربي و مستشار لبودكاست The Product.Live منذ اليوم الأول اللهم اجعل مساهماته و عمله في نشر علمه و خبرته العملية في ميزان حسناته علم ينتفع به الناس لا ينقطع به عمله الصالح من الدنيا ١٤ مارس ٢٠٢٤ - ٤ رمضان ١٤٤٥ —-------------------------------- آخر حلقة قام نائل شاكر بتسجيلها.. كتاب مميز يحكي قصة "مبادئ التصميم العظيم والمعنوي"، اللي شارك فيه أحد أعظم المصممين في العالم. وقال تيم براون، إن الكتاب "أكثر أهمية اليوم مما كان عليه عند نشره لأول مرة". حتى الأذكياء فينا بيحسوا بالعجز لما بنحاول نفهم نشغل لمبة الضوء أو شعلة الفرن، أو نفكر ندفع، نجر، أو ندور علي باب. الكتاب بيقول إن المشكلة مش فينا، المشكلة في تصميم المنتج اللي بيتجاهل احتياجات المستخدمين ومبادئ علم النفس الإدراكي. المشاكل بتتنوع من الضوابط غامضة ومخفية إلى العلاقات التعسفية بين الضوابط والوظائف، وعدم وجود ردود فعل أو مساعدة أخرى ومطالب غير معقولة بالحفظ. الهدف من الكتاب هو توجيه المستخدم بسهولة للعمل الصحيح في الوقت المناسب، بالاستفادة من القيود وجعل الأشياء مرئية واستغلال العلاقات الطبيعية بين الوظيفة والضبط. "The Design of Everyday Things" دليل قوي على كيفية - ولماذا - تحقق بعض المنتجات رضا العملاء بينما تحبطهم الأخرى. ------------------------ One of the world's great designers shares his vision of "the fundamental principles of great and meaningful design", that's "even more relevant today than it was when first published" (Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO). Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious -- even liberating -- book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time. The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how -- and why -- some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.

The Product.LiveBook Review of "Working Backwards" on The BookClubبالعربي with Nael Shaker (Arabic)"العمل للوراء: رؤى وقصص وأسرار من داخل أمازون" هو كتاب جذاب ومفيد يأخذ القراء إلى خلف الكواليس لأحد أنجح وأكثر الشركات الابتكارية في العالم. يتناول الكتاب من تأليف كولن براير وبيل كار، اللذان كانا مسؤولين تنفيذيين سابقين في أمازون، منظورًا داخليًا حول مبادئ الأعمال الفريدة، وثقافة الشركة، وعمليات اتخاذ القرار. أحد المفاهيم الرئيسية التي يتناولها الكتاب هو ممارسة "العمل للوراء"، حيث يبدأ الفريق بالتفكير في العميل ثم يعمل للوراء لتطوير المنتجات والخدمات. يستعرض الكتاب تفاصيل السرد الشهير البالغ ست صفحات في أمازون، الذي يُستخدم لخلق رؤية مشتركة وتوجيه الفرق نحو هدف مشترك. هذا النهج، بالاقتران مع التركيز الشديد على العميل، لعب دورًا حاسمًا في قدرة أمازون على تقديم منتجات وخدمات رائدة باستمرار. علاوة على ذلك، يقدم "العمل للوراء" نظرة على ثقافة الشركة في أمازون، حيث يسلط الكتاب الضوء على التركيز الكبير على الابتكار، والتفكير بالمدى الطويل، والسعي الدؤوب نحو التميز. يناقش المؤلفون ممارسات التوظيف الفريدة في أمازون، وأهمية اتخاذ القرارات استنادًا إلى البيانات، والالتزام بالحفاظ على روح اليوم الأول، حتى وقد نمت الشركة إلى حجم هائل على مستوى عالمي. في حين أن الكتاب غني بالحكايات والنصائح العملية، يتناول أيضًا الانتقادات الموجهة إلى ممارسات العمل في أمازون والتحديات المتعلقة بالحفاظ على ثقافة أداء عالٍ بهذا الشكل. يضيف ذلك عمقًا للسرد ويقدم رؤية أكثر شمولا للشركة. في ختام المطاف، "العمل للوراء" هو كتاب مكتوب بشكل جيد ومفيد يقدم نظرة مفصلة وصادقة على الأمور الداخلية لأمازون. سواء كنت قائد أعمال، رائد أعمال، أو مجرد مهتم بفهم كيفية عمل شركة تكنولوجية ضخمة، يقدم هذا الكتاب دروسًا قيمة ومفيدة يمكن تطبيقها في مجموعة واسعة من الصناعات. "Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon" is a compelling and insightful book that takes readers behind the scenes of one of the world's most successful and innovative companies. Authored by Colin Bryar and Bill Carr, both former Amazon executives, the book provides an insider's perspective on Amazon's unique business principles, culture, and decision-making processes. Moreover, "Working Backwards" provides a glimpse into Amazon's corporate culture, highlighting the company's emphasis on innovation, long-term thinking, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. The authors discuss Amazon's unique hiring practices, the importance of data-driven decision-making, and the commitment to maintaining a Day 1 mentality, even as the company has grown into a global behemoth. While the book is rich in anecdotes and practical advice, it also addresses criticisms of Amazon's workplace practices and the challenges associated with maintaining such a high-performance culture. This adds depth to the narrative and provides a more holistic view of the company. In summary, "Working Backwards" is a well-written and informative book that offers a detailed and candid look at the inner workings of Amazon. Whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur, or simply interested in understanding how a tech giant operates, this book provides valuable lessons and takeaways that can be applied to a wide range of industries.
