EFFICIENT
When someone work without wasting time or energy, in a well-organized way, we say that they are efficient. A reliable clerk is efficient; an inefficient one is not structurally oriented, forgetful, or takes too long to get a small job done. ‘Efficient’ is also referred to a machine or system that works well.
Example:
- I have handled many contracted projects smoothly for I knew how to consider project triangles – isn’t that efficient of me?
- Apple, Microsoft, Google products are highly efficient when it comes to thinking about information processing and telecoms.
EFFECTIVE
Something will be effective if it solves our particular problem; or is successful in producing a desired or intended result.
Example:
- If your work plan to reduce office paper waste resulted in a reduction more than 30% in paper use, that means your plan was very effective.
- Monitoring is an effective project control.
- An effective solution to environmental problems is that, at least, your daily work makes no harm to the trees.
