Mogic Winter: 2024

It is early, and September is only counting the rest of the month.

Next week it will already be October and Halloween season.

We have three months left this year, less than 100 days, and if it's business days, we only have 66 days.

It was going to be a zoni scene soon if we were not careful, so we started the last spurt of our annual year-end project.

This year, unlike usual, we stopped distributing original calendars and shifted our focus to making card games, and we also stopped another New Year's greeting game application and changed course to creating a service that could be useful to someone.

It was all well and good until we decided to do so, but as expected, it did not work out.

The project may not have kicked off in the first place, the prototype may not be as interesting as expected, or it may already be well over the budget amount and scale.

Since this is the first time for all of them, I still don't know where the goal is, I can't see the way forward, and I can't decide what role I should play.

Even so, as time passed mercilessly, my back began to sweat, my steps began to lag, and I fell into the illusion that I was wandering aimlessly through a dimly lit forest.

Stalled, silent, frowning, looking down, looking up to the heavens.

Suddenly you feel a chill in the air and foresee freezing feet at night.

The deeper they are divided, the more they are trapped.

The two major Mogic winter projects in hell have only just begun.

We have no idea how it will end.

The conclusion will surely be published somewhere, so please stay tuned.

Ichiju Hyakkei, Renewed Bulletin

I picked up two in the four-character phrase series.

First, we will start with Ichiju Hyakkari, originally from

"The plan of a year is not like the plan of a grain tree. The plan for a lifetime is not as if a man were a tree. A tree that produces one crop is a grain. A tree that produces ten crops is a tree. A tree that produces a hundred crops is a man.

The sentence, "It is important to nurture people in the long run, not just for immediate profit," can be translated as, "It is important to nurture people in the long run, not just for immediate profit.

Then, I don't know the origin of the new era, but when I pulled up a dictionary, I found an example of the Japanese origin of Kotaro Takamura and beauty, with Prince Shotoku.

"The national policy was settled, the national fortunes grew, and a new era of culture was heralded."

The sentence "The old is over, and a whole new year is beginning.

My intuition is that the reason I picked up on these two, though abruptly, is that they are appropriate to show the current foothold.

In other words, I think we need to change our sense of how we perceive the times at this time in a big way.

As one example, if you look at Japan's demographics, we are talking about a decline of 840,000 people in 2023, the largest ever.

The decline consisted of 758,631 births and 1,590,503 deaths.

The fact that in just one year the city has lost its ordinance-designated city level population.

If this were to accumulate every year, a simple calculation shows a decrease of 8.4 million people in 10 years.

What does a future with 8.4 million fewer people look like?

From the past perspective, it will be seen as "an era in which everything is unimpeded and something is always missing," and from the perspective of 10 years from now, I wonder if it will be "an era in which we create different value from what we have at hand.

If we are to promote this idea, it is important to go back to the beginning.

To use a company analogy, think about how you can grow together with the people who come for interviews rather than lamenting that you can't hire good people.

If you are pessimistic about the lack of manpower, think about systematizing, structuring, and discarding in order to value the people you have.

Above all, I would like to think carefully about how to create an organization that questions the conventional wisdom and creates new value.

A place that is hard to talk about.

I have always felt that there is a certain vagueness in the way we talk about companies, business, and work.

I wondered what is the hardest part of the story to tell.

However, hints of this can be found in unexpected places.

Let me quote a passage from a medical book that rang a bell.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Bodies Living in More Than One World Anthropology of the Han Clinic
Tae Woo Kim (Author), Hitomi Sakai (Translator)
h ttps:// www.kashiwashobo.co.jp/book/9784760155675

I go to work in my body, eat, watch movies, and go to cafes.

It also lives with a body that is separate from itself.

Bodies communicate emotions with each other through facial expressions and conversations.

One knows such a body.

He knows the sensations that the body conveys and he knows the pain.

The system formed by this bundling of knowledge about pain is medicine.

abbreviation

No medical treatment can fully explain every condition of the body.

This is not so much a question of the limitations of a certain medical treatment, but rather of the existence of the body, which has many different backgrounds and aspects.

abbreviation

Thus, medicine is more than a system of knowledge and action for health.

Healthcare is essentially a system of "regulations.

Medicine defines what constitutes disease and what constitutes health, and at its core is a prescription for the body.

Medical care, which shows what the most basic assumption of the human body is, is also the very definition of what it means to be human.

abbreviation

An examination of the definite targets of Western medicine's attention reveals the consistent perspective that Western medicine has on the body.

abbreviation

The subject is an "independent entity.

Hence, a separation is possible between it and other things.

abbreviation

Rather than emphasizing a "fixed" or "independent subject," East Asian medicine is deeply concerned with "flow" and "situation."

There is a well-known saying in Korean medicine, "Tongli-ru non-pain, 不痛則痛.

It means that if the street is good, there is no pain; if it is bad, there is pain.

If the flow is smooth, there is no disease.

It's a comfortable body, not painful.

However, if the flow is poor, health begins to waver and approaches disease.

It can be said that the diagnosis in Korean medicine is a consideration of a situation of poor flow.
oooooooooooooo

In addition to the familiar Western medicine, there are diverse views of medicine in the world, which are "prescribed" in their own way.

If so, it is not surprising that companies and businesses have a similar "number of regulations" with a wide variety of interpretations and actions.

Some regulations treat the people and clients who work with them as independent figures, while others look at the flow and stagnation as a whole.

Perhaps the difficulty of telling the story is the difficulty of trying to communicate across different regulations.

Of course, we are free to stand on any kind of rule, and we systematize our knowledge and actions as we like, as we feel comfortable with.

Then you realize that 20 or 30 years have passed, and that's good.

Finally, I'll borrow a bit from the previous quote and rewrite it.

"The social activity (work) accomplished by the body, the most basic premise of the human being, is also the very definition of what it means to be human."

Its name is the "Aggressor's Club".

Market Direction, Basic Education, Innovation & Production.

There are many unfamiliar department names at Mogic.

This is not a play on names, it's just what happened when we tried to match the entity.

The director function alone was not enough to develop our own services, so we added a marketing element and created the Market Direction Division. The Basic Education Department was created because it is better to look beyond the organization for the basic skills, such as team communication and individual personalities.

This is an unprecedented experiment, so not everything will go well.

Some departments were rather controversial.

One of them is the "Aggressor Department," which is exactly what it sounds like: a name for a body.

It may seem like a story, but it really did exist.

The interns and planners will take the lead as the unit that will now actively and boldly lobby the company.

Just around that time (around 10 years ago), we were becoming more organized, so let's stop the divisions from becoming a taco-bowl! Let's break down the barriers between departments! We had to break down the barriers between divisions!

True to such a mission, he often visited other departments and stirred up the place.

They open the door in the middle of a meeting and say, "Let's ask for help! and suddenly blurts out a presentation that resembles a challenge.

The enigmatic mounting phrase begins, "Listen up, boys."

That's not surprising, but everyone is stunned and amazed.

I am still wondering if there is a different way to do it, but it is a good experience, because it sometimes appears as a funny story.
