With the combination of a small number of people + software + servers and robots
We are promoting a new era of company management.
We hope to share part of this process with you in this corner.

When you run a company, there are random times when things go wrong, mistakes are made, things go as planned, and things get lucky.
To be precise, I think that the distribution may be statistically expressible because it "appears to be random" but is actually influenced by structural behaviors, i.e., organization, job classification, work flow, etc.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Statistical Distribution
h ttps:// w.wiki/D6dZ
Statistical distribution refers to the distribution in a statistical population.
Statistical distributions include canonical, grand canonical, Rayleigh, Laplace, beta, Wishart, uniform, logistic, log-normal, Pareto, Dirichlet, error, hypergeometric, von Mises, extreme value, and truncated gamma distributions There are
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If daily events follow a statistical distribution, then we can build some kind of model.
Then, if you have a model, you can replace the parameters and simulate the model.
The ability to simulate states by parameters means that widths in the future can be predicted.
I think about such things, but this is of course why it is so difficult.
What is difficult about what?
We must first determine that axis to make it "statistically distributed" and do it.
For example, "I forgot to order supplies," "I was lucky enough to win a campaign," and "I was able to hire a good person." Should these be on the same plane, or not?
If you narrow it down to "forgot to order supplies," identify whether it is the frequency, the amount, the approval steps leading up to it, the relationships, or the conflict with other duties.
Assuming "forgot to order supplies" and "conflict with other work" is the main cause, we need to determine whether it is a target or an outlier, depending on whether it is a routine task or one that occurs very rarely.
But if we do too much, we are likely to be satisfied with the local optimum solution, and maybe we will take into account that if we stop working in a totally different department, this problem may not arise.
Yes, after all, when you get down to it, the goal is not to derive a solution, so I guess it is important to turn a casual gaze toward different levels of hierarchy and granularity.

After the first day of spring, when it is about to snow heavily, interns begin to graduate, as in previous years.
The earliest students receive job offers in January, and all graduate around July at the latest.
Someone always says, "Hey, interns, aren't they all going away?" but before you know it, new third-year students keep coming in, and soon a year goes by and you think the same thing again.
This year, as I followed their passing by my side, I suddenly wondered, "If I were a junior in college today, what would I be aiming for?
If you are a junior in college in 2025, you were born in 2003/Heisei 15, the year Roppongi Hills opened.
Topics in 2025, 1 in 7 people will be 75+ in later life, inflation/interest rates rising, continued conflict in the world, and generative AI.
Projections for 2025-20 years from now, they say that more than 60% of the jobs that exist today will be gone and new ones will be available.
Well, if there are a lot of jobs out there that I don't know about yet, I'd like to be the first one to work on them.
If you do it, you'll soon become a leading expert.
But it's a profession I haven't seen yet, and how can I find it now?
Looking into the future as it is, I was afraid that I would only project my expectations and lose my sense of reality, so I looked up the occupations that have disappeared and those that have been created in the past 20 years to seek clues.
Occupations that have disappeared: video rental store clerks, photo laboratory staff, telephone operators, CD store clerks, telephone directory producers, TV and radio repair technicians, and bank teller service personnel.
Professions that were born: data scientist, machine learning engineer, influencer, digital marketer, food delivery delivery person, crowd worker, telemedicine coordinator, work style consultant, etc.
While I certainly feel that this is true when I lay it out like this, if I had said "I'm going to be an influencer in the future" in 2003, more than 20 years ago, I would have been either laughed out loud or taken aback with a "haha".
But the funny thing is that "influencers" are very common nowadays.
I think that if the "Mere Old Man" is able to find a new job within 20 years, it will be a job that people would laugh at now.

There is one policy, both corporate and personal, and that is to find the flow of time and not go against it.
When I was young, I was able to estimate that in another five years, the broadband environment for PCs would spread to 80% of all households, so I looked for a place where I could launch a video distribution business.
When I started my business, it was the same year that tablets were being released right after smartphones came out, so I thought about how I could support online education for a long time by overlapping it with the declining birthrate and aging population.
Of course, the basic premise is that I sincerely want to do it, but even so, I can't do it on my own, so I try to give up quickly if the winds are not blowing in the right direction.
Lately, I have been feeling that something big is on the horizon again, and I have been stitching up a few pieces of fabric in preparation for when the winds eventually blow.

In this issue, I would like to delve a little deeper into the much-used word identity.
Identity, until now, has been roughly thought of as "what is unique to me" or "how I want to be seen by others.
To expand on this a bit, I'll quote some from the wiki.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Identity (self-identity)
h ttps:// w.wiki/6585
In adolescence, knowing who you are is called establishing ego-identity.
According to the Dictionary of Psychology (1999), the definition is "the ability to respond affirmatively and with conviction to questions that place one's self within society, such as 'Who am I?
abbreviation
The preparatory period during which social obligations and responsibilities are postponed in order to acquire ego-identity is called psychosocial moratorium, but this only represents a respite until identity is established, which Erikson himself viewed as a period of struggle in which adolescents struggle with a variety of issues.
During this period, the young man reorganizes the various parts of his self that he has acquired up to this point.
As a result, the youth is left with an appropriately chosen object to which he can pledge allegiance and an activity of self, while the negative aspects are discarded and established as an identity.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Although biased toward a developmental psychology interpretation, it is indeed a straightforward definition: the ability to respond positively and confidently to oneself in society.
If we dare to invert this definition, it would be "answering neutrally, negatively, or ambiguously unsure of oneself in society," so this state of being, that is, not being able to answer positively and with certainty, is quite uncomfortable.
What do you do?"
I'm like, "Uh, well, I work during the week.
However, if we review the situation from a different angle, we feel that it is not all bad.
Because they are not sitting well, they think a lot, try, worry, and try to choose.
Because you feel uncomfortable, you take it seriously all the time, and someone cares about you that way.
Well, if you take the plunge and step out of one, you will find that you are comfortable no matter what the outcome is.
It's strange. When I think about it that way, it makes me think that companies are similar, even though they are not human.
When you start a business, you have to search, try, worry, and choose, uncomfortably, whether it is this business or that business.
You may have thought you were taking the shortcut, but you find yourself in a different place, or you may think you are taking the long way around, but it turns out to be a shortcut.
We have been doing things this way and that, and we still have our own "character" here and there along the way.
I am sure that if you don't pinch yourself on the bumpy road, your body won't remember what is important.
Then, as the company's operations become more proficient and results are achieved, you can rest assured that you are in good hands.
But unfortunately, it is short-lived and must continue to change in order to advance further.
After all these twists and turns and expansions, it seems to me that it is better to be uncomfortable than to be comfortable, and I think that "character" should not stand still.

I have been aware of governance since the company was established 10 years ago.
We often hear of corporate governance, but as one would expect from a large organization, such a framework is overblown, so we have been searching for something a little more unique to us.
Let's start with governance, the definition of a word that you may or may not understand.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Governance
h ttps:// w.wiki/CjpQ
Governance refers to any process of governance.
It is clear that this is a broad concept used for governments, corporations, and other organizations, as well as for territories, IT systems, and power.
In governance, stakeholders shape, strengthen, or reconfigure social norms and institutions through their interactions and decisions.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If we interpret it in our own way, what is still important is to "reconfigure it for good through the interaction of the people involved.
At Mogic, we want to continue to be a safe presence for everyone involved, both inside and outside the company.
The framework of the organization should be shared as much as possible to gather opinions, if there are conflicts of interest, they should be discussed until everyone involved is satisfied, and if you have great authority, you should have the appropriate responsibility and ethics, and never let anyone lose money for someone else's gain.
When written in this way, they are all normal.
Still, we are trying to bump up our version of the familiar normal, however small or trivial, by bumping up the newly discussed normal.

Before the year was out, I had been saying here and there that I wanted 2025 to have editing capabilities.
IT company, educational services, Ishigami, 30 people, and whether there is organizational editorial power in the company?
You may not need it.
I may not need it, but they are capable of giving shape to anything once they decide on a theme, so I wanted to take the challenge to the next level.
My hypothesis is that people get bored easily, so if they have the ability to create themes themselves, they will not be bored.
I think that the more advanced the IT technology that supports our thinking becomes, the softer and softer we need to be able to put our points of view at a glance and at a distance.
It will be a challenge over the next few years to see if the threads of this speculation, hypothesis, and forecast can be successfully twisted together.
As the new year begins to unfold, the mountains may look different in the winter haze, but the feeling of smoke rising from the sky remains the same.
We look forward to working with you again this year.

We are doing contract development or consulting, but we would like to launch our own service.
This topic is often debated here and there now and then, often heated with a variety of views.
So, first I had to carefully unpack the background and ask, "Why do you want to start up?" I asked.
"Relying on a few companies for large projects is too risky."
We want to be free to do things under our own brand name.
"We want to make use of the know-how we have accumulated through past development projects.
We want to be able to scale and increase profits without depending on the number of employees.
We want our employees to be active.
I want to stabilize cash flow.
The reasons for this are surprisingly varied.
If so, "What do you think is missing from the launch of your own service?" and continue.
"We don't have anyone who can grasp the service."
We have engineers, but no designers.
I have an idea, but I'm not sure I have the resources to implement it.
I don't have the know-how for web advertising and marketing.
I'm not sure how much money and time it will take.
I don't have a dedicated sales person.
If the issue of "What is your personal opinion?
We are all about timing and service, and I think that's what we're all about.
Oh, really?" I would say, "Well, it seems like I can make up the money, skills, and resources, but once I miss the right time to enter the market, I can't get it back, and the spirit of service, in other words, the desire to please others and deliver more than what they expect, is fundamentally irreplaceable, If the service does not directly interact with the customer, the organization itself must have a culture of service, or it will not be able to convey the goodness of the service, and people who only care about their own cost-effectiveness will not be able to continue creating the service.
Even so, it is not good to be too cautious and wait too long, and it is not right to be too service-oriented and exhausting, so it is important to find a balance.

Exactly 15 years ago today, I founded my company.
At first it was a one-person company, and I remember my family celebrating at an Italian restaurant.
And for the 15th year, we had a Korean kitchen car come this time.
Bulgogi rice bowl, beef rib bibimbap, mentaiko mentaiko bibimbap, tteokbokki, croffle, hutteok, tapioca milk tea, and more.
Everyone seems to look forward to coming to work, and that's the best part.
Looking back, it was 10 years ago that I moved into my current office.
Only 3F and 4F were rented and soon after 1F and 2F were opened for renovation.
In a fit of energy, we had a big party with the community on a rooftop in early summer with croquettes and beer.
Many things have happened over the years, but to sum it up simply, I am glad to have created this company.
