Prepare for when the wind eventually blows.

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 will eventually blow.

Uncomfortable, is that bad?

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,' 'What is my path,' 'What is my purpose in life,' and 'What is the meaning of my existence?

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 and unsurely about oneself in society," so this state of being, i.e., not being able to respond positively and confidently, 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 was wondering what governance is.

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.

Softness that can be placed on and far away from the body.

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.

Really, it's just a mentality.

We are doing contract development or consulting, but we would like to launch our own service.

This topic is often debated now and then here and there, and is often heated with different 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.

And 15 whole years later, this time Korean food

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 on the rooftop in early summer with croquettes and beer with the local community.

Many things have happened over the years, but to sum it up simply, I am glad to have created this company.

Internal regulations are worth the investment.

Every four months or so, we review the company's internal regulations with an outside expert.

This is about the right amount of time to update information on caregiving and childcare, rewrite ambiguous parts of previous clauses, and reflect feedback received from everyone.

There are nearly 20 in total, but the main work rules have gone through revision after revision until we have reached Article 95.

Even if no one is able to see through all of them, the continuous writing will serve as a dictionary for the managers of each department when they make decisions.

As a result, the consultation does not come to the representative.

Yeah, it's a good thing.

In that respect, it is also worth the investment to review it with the executive officer every four months.

Incidentally, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has a website called "Model Employment Regulations," which is instructive, saying, "Ah, there is that perspective, too.

Isn't that how it's supposed to be?

As strange as it may seem, Mogic has no company presentation materials.

Let's do it this way! That's the goal! There is no such thing as a roadmap.

People often say to me, "How can you organize an organization like that?

I replied, "We've been doing this for 15 years now, that's as good as it gets, it's fine."

I thought it was kind of uncommon for a company to do this, but it seems that there are methods closer to the design and architecture field, so I pulled it up.

How to Think about Human-Centered "Not" Design

Shall we make something out of what we have?"

Have you ever gone home hungry and had your mother call out to you like that?

The things that your mother made with these words were probably "aria-ase" dishes made with what was in the refrigerator.

It is something that has the usual flavor and relief, but not something that has a definite name.

It is a creative dish that considers the ingredients and their uses, which may sometimes be a riddle.

The process of cooking is like looking at other ingredients and thinking, "What can I do with this? and looking at other ingredients, thinking of new combinations to bring out the potential of the ingredients.

abbreviation

It is similar to the "seed-oriented" design process, which is a "bottom-up" search for applications for new technologies and materials.

In contrast is the process that fathers who cook only on weekends tend to follow, where they start by going to the supermarket to buy ingredients according to the recipe as a "blueprint" for the dish in the book to be realized.

Aiming for a delicious dish that has already been designed by someone else, we prepare the ingredients exactly as they are and follow the instructions.

It is similar to a "top-down" or "needs-oriented" design process, where the goal is determined first and then the means to realize it are considered.

A ready-made dish improvised from ingredients on hand, like a mother's cooking, may surprise you with its taste and texture, or on the other hand, it may be a menu that is indescribable.

This process of creating something new by collecting what is at hand and experimenting with how to make it is also known as bricolage (dexterity work).

abbreviation

Words such as "wit" and "wit" and "wit" and "esprit" have close meanings for such ingenuity.

These words indicate something intelligent with a touch of improvised humor, or a spur-of-the-moment decision to somehow get out of the moment, etc.

The word bricolage comes from the French word "bricoler" meaning "to mend" or "to cheat," and it is said to include the atmosphere of somehow getting out of a situation by telling a little lie.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nice, a company that makes things with what is available and what is not.

No, not no, but rather a company that mends with what is around it.

And above all, people who don't lie when they are in trouble, but cheat and smile in order to get out of it.

I'm not sure if it's anything like that, but I'm cleaning up today from this morning.
