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.

I attended a wedding for the first time in a long time that had all but disappeared due to the Corona disaster.
I've been talking to relatives of working members.
I think it's great that as a company, they've managed to make something that seems like a waste of time not so much. It looks like fun to work there."
I was grateful for the kind words.
It is most gratifying to be seen as such by those around you.
If the length of life is 80 years, I feel it is better to have 64 years of fun and 16 years of patience than to have 16 years worth of fun and 80% of patience, which is equivalent to 20%.
I'd like to shorten the time period a bit more, and I'd rather have 292 fun days than have to endure 292 days out of the year.
The idea is the same for an even shorter 7-hour workday.
As an extreme hypothetical, if we consider that the sum of the pleasant hours of life is an extension of the sum of the pleasant hours of a day, we cannot neglect the significance of working even for a single day.
This creates the proposition that working = doing one's requested work properly and at the same time, the enjoyment felt by the individual must be superimposed and realized.
The best thing is that despite the same job description, he/she will enjoy it, not endure it! The best thing would be that he/she can think of it as "fun!
I believe that the only way to achieve this is to take a long time and learn from many different people and their different perspectives on things on various occasions.
As a result, the company does not hesitate to develop events or create services that it would not normally undertake.

Before the Corona disaster, we had a cooking club and often made sweets during work.
Usually the interns got involved, and I now have good memories of being roasted gingko nuts on the roof, roasting green coffee beans, and kneading flour to make cookies.
But times have passed and circumstances have changed, which means that we have busted out the cooking supplies.
Iron pans, small wooden plates, ceramic platters, spoons, chopsticks, teacups, mugs, decorative glass plates, tortilla machines.
I remember the party we had when we got oysters directly from Atsukishi with this, and how we went to the trouble of ordering corn flour and made tacos with it, and how we piled up croquettes in a heap with it, and all the things I miss.
While a large amount of cooking supplies were gone, the DIY shelves that had been on display were also dismantled.
We are half sad and half refreshed, and a new project is beginning to run.

At the beginning of a new term, we begin to investigate the level of accuracy of the forecasts we came up with just one year ago.
As I talk and write here and there, I carefully collect them one by one and see what has been misaligned. Strangely enough, the gap between expectation and reality has lessened as the years have passed.
Of course, this is because we have found and addressed the factors that caused the discrepancies, but I think the biggest reason is that we now have a gradation of expectations.
We estimate at a 90% predictability level for projects that we can control, at a 60% predictability level for those that we work with close outsiders, and at a 15% predictability level for completely new business plans.
The degree of predictability is not vague, but is determined by synthesizing the extent to which the elements are comprehensively identified, the range of variation for each element, the degree of interaction among the elements, the order in which they affect each other, and whether the intensity of the elements themselves will increase or decrease.
Once the degree of predictability is determined, we can then create a formula to express it and let the computer do the simulation, or use graphic symbols to decipher the flow.
Take the example of a project to launch a new service.
There is one project manager, one designer, and one engineer. Of the three, the designer is inexperienced and wants to use an unknown technology for the new service, and the projection level is 80%, as he wants to create the new service in approximately 4 months.
The unpredictable 20% is mainly due to the level of growth of the members, the availability of unknown technology and alternative options, how the concept is put together, and how it fits in with other work, so if we tighten the project at key points to keep the variability there in an appropriate range, we can probably do it.
That said, it's no trick to only make things highly predictable, so I always weave in less predictable things and chase after the moments that flash before my eyes.

If you are alone, or if a problem occurs in a team, it is difficult to identify the cause of the problem.
Emotionally, you could just say, "It's his fault," morally, you could say, "One for all. It's everyone's fault," and data-wise, we can opine, "There's a bottleneck in the workflow.
In response to each, "someone says sorry, we talk about trusting each other more, we try to devise a number check," but what if it still doesn't work?
I quote a straightforward expression from a book on causation.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The Science of Causal Reasoning "Why? How to Answer the Question "Why?

For these problems, we immediately come up with the solution of dividing the numbers into a finite and tractable number of categories.
While there is nothing wrong with this solution in principle, it would make category setting somewhat arbitrary.
Also, if the number of variables to be adjusted is greater than a certain number, the number of categories could increase exponentially.
This would make this approach practically inapplicable.
Moreover, in this case, it is possible that not a single element exists in many of the categories.
In that case, the probability would not be estimated at all.
This problem has been called the "curse of dimensionality," and statisticians have come up with some excellent ways to deal with it.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It means that factors that we have not come up with in our past experiences, sensations, and conventions are secretly lying dormant and causing bad behavior, and of course, there are most likely multiple factors in a chain of events.
And then, how do you solve it? Unfortunately, it seems that the only way is to take a good amount of time and painstakingly and patiently consider the situation.
From another quote about how it is
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It's quite simple, Miss Watson.
Sherlock Holmes would say this, and then, as we all know, he would usually surprise his trusted assistant, Watson, with a deduction that was not very easy.
abbreviation
Holmes has other famous lines.
From that, we can see how he thinks.
Here's the line.
When you eliminate the improbable one by one, what remains at the end, no matter how improbable it may seem, is the truth."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
We live in a world of Corona disaster, yen depreciation, inflation, and more knots that cannot be untied normally.

Every year in October, they start all together to prepare for the end of the year.
In particular, the Nenga app project and the New Year's calendar project compete with each other, but this year the atmosphere is somewhat different.
Compared to the New Year's greeting card application, which started smoothly with the new interns meeting each other, the calendar project seemed to be completely stuck in the scene.
That's because the 10th anniversary of LearnO is coming to a climax, and everything is packed into the months of October and November.
We can't force it, because we can't force it to be good.
I think we can give up on the New Year's calendar."
And if you help him out...
My mother enjoys using it.
I would like to see the tree on the stand next year.
I wish we could publish more than one page a month."
And from here and there, we keep coming back to the premise of creating a calendar.
It must be really hard to make a calendar from scratch, but Mogic's love of calendars is extraordinary.
Now let's see if we can do it and if we will have any luck.

When I first started my business, I used to drop breakers in one of the apartments I rented.
If you turn on the air conditioner, put 4 computers on the floor, and boil water, it will go down quickly.
I fell in and out of it too many times a day! I was so mad that I started learning electrical engineering.
I fantasized about eventually increasing the amperage, putting a server there, and turning half the room into a data center, but I soon realized it was a foolhardy scheme.
If you think about it, it is obvious, and lives are at stake.
Because you can be in immediate danger or you can be in gradual danger.
If electricity leaks, it can cause an electric shock, and if the resistance increases with age, sparks can fly.
Thanks to the breakers dropping too much back then, I now know my way around electricity: distribution boards, power boards, RCDs, breakers, grounding, VVF cables, crimping pliers, and joint boxes.
When starting something, momentum is important.
It is equally important to understand the background and to inspect and maintain it, without wanting to be numb to it anymore.

We have received third-party ISMS certification for the handling of information assets.
I'll leave the details to the press release.

We had formed our own risk audit committee several years ago to check this and that, but we decided that this would be difficult to communicate externally, so we started the committee in April of this year.

Even though LearnO Services is celebrating its 10th anniversary and is in the midst of rebranding its services, we were all able to work together to maintain the service.
Since we are involved in the educational IT business, we will continue to take all possible educational measures to ensure information security so that we will not be in the dark under the lamp.

It seems that everywhere in the world, people are uncertain about how to handle money, and people interviewed for an international documentary program said, "Paycheck to paycheck, because this country (despite being a developed country) doesn't teach money literacy at all. (People interviewed for an international documentary program said, "Paycheck to paycheck, because this country (despite being a developed country) doesn't teach money literacy at all.
I have been hearing more and more about financial planning in Japan, but I suddenly became concerned that I may not have actually had a firm grasp of what money literacy means.
So what is money literacy to those around you? I asked them.
I think it's important to keep track of all the money coming in and going out, as well as the money remaining on hand. People don't see a breakdown of the taxes deducted from their paychecks.
It's the ability to think about what it means when you spend money. Money is something that you can spend as soon as you feel you want it. It's whether or not you can think about what it will be useful for and how much and when before you buy it.
'You have to understand early on the three major expenses of life. Education, housing, and retirement require a long time to prepare. You have to have time on your side."
"It's whether you can color the money yourself. The same 100,000 yen can be 100,000 in savings, or 50,000 for my future skills plus 30,000 for gifts to those around me plus 20,000 for investments, I'm free to do whatever I want."
The results were surprisingly staggering.
The fact that the answers are so varied probably means that they are so difficult.
Since this is a type of talk that is as invisible and undefinable as health, happiness, and joie de vivre, it seems to me that it would be a good idea to at least spend some time discussing it with others to gain a better understanding of it.
