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 I started working, I often kept track of the work I had completed.
I was more interested in how the work passed from person to person and how it circulated in the organization, rather than in the content of the work, so I kept the data.
March 1, 10:10 a.m. Send an e-mail request to Mr. A about the project work → March 1, 10:30 a.m. Mr. A replies that he wants to talk at the table → March 1, 1:10 p.m. Talk about the details at the table and he agrees → March 1, 3 p.m. Have Mr. A explain at a regular project meeting → ・・・ May 15 ・・・・・ → May 15, the service release is completed.
I guess they had a lot of time on their hands back then.
After a while, I began to see many things.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Work is prone to error and stagnation as it moves from person to person.
Those who do it early always do it early, and those who do it last minute always do it last minute.
Just a few hours difference in the timing of sending out an e-mail can shift the entire process by several days.
Like, if you don't check in case you don't, or if you don't do it early enough, you can get into terrible trouble at the end of the day due to a chain of omissions.
Wooooooo!
Eventually, you will realize something more fundamental.
Looking back, it seems obvious, but until that moment, I thought the definition of work was this.
A job is "to do the work entrusted to you neatly and as expected.
Yes, I realized that looking only at "my work" is not really work.
Because the more you look at everyone's work, the more you see that no matter how much you optimize your part, it is not within the margin of error.
Instead, I think it's better to think about the people who connect the baton far and wide and make the whole thing work.
I guess I can't keep focusing on myself forever.
(This also reinforces my dislike of task lists and personal goals.)
If the whole process becomes stagnant, you won't get great results, and at the end of the day, you may even have to do more work yourself.
Although I didn't have much evidence, I began to pay attention to things other than myself after intuitively feeling that way.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Try to include something that will help the next person in the work you are working on.
Two or three ahead, branch out and tease out the tricks that will come into play at the end of the game.
Carefully check the facts to see what the considerations meant.
Keep in mind the work of all parties involved, not only internally but also externally.
If someone is making a request that annoys them, I'll follow up a bit.
It's a part that doesn't concern me, but if the progress looks suspicious, I'll talk to him.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It was really an unnecessary meddling, but if we continued to do so, troubles naturally decreased and the flow of the system became smoother.
I started with a hunch, and even now I am not sure if this is the right thing to do.
Because sometimes people say, "Can we just give an unaware newcomer all the jobs that work well?"
However, I am not satisfied because this meddlesome style has been passed down to the present as the Mogic style.
