While conventional theory relies on time-based interventions to achieve speed, this approach typically fails. In \u003ci\u003eTime by Design\u003c\/i\u003e, Dawna Ballard shows how speed is actually a function of the relationship between time and communication, or chronemics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBallard identifies two communication design logics—fast and slow—that reflect contrasting beliefs about how communication works to support urgent, time-sensitive work demands. Fast communication design logics are linear, short term in orientation, and treat time in interaction as transactional. Slow communication design logics are nonlinear and long term in orientation and treat time in interaction as transcendent. Given these distinct approaches, the book offers a practical toolkit that shows the reader how the two chronemic designs can be used in complementary fashion—and how effective teams, communities, and organizations routinely communicate slow to go fast.1 Time Talks: The Power of Fast and Slow Communication Design Logics\u003cbr\u003e2 Design Frames: Communication and the Designable Features of Time\u003cbr\u003e3 Fast Logics: The Communication Theory of More-Faster-Better\u003cbr\u003e4 Slow Logics: The Communication Theory of Going Slow to Go Fast \u003cbr\u003e5 Beyond Words: Signposts for New Timescapes\u003cbr\u003e6 Measure Twice: Good Design Takes Time\u003cb\u003eENDORSEMENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Dawna Ballard’s \u003ci\u003eTime by Design\u003c\/i\u003e presents one of the most original perspectives on design I’ve encountered—showing how time shapes communication.
