Mogic considers

View in closed and open systems

When I talk to interns who have just joined the company, I sometimes think, "They seem so stiff.

That's not because I feel like my body is tense, but because I feel like I'm looking at things in a hardened way.

Ummm, I thought it was hard to express it well, so I'll borrow a term from another source, thermodynamics.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Systems (Natural Sciences)
h ttps:// w.wiki/48gN

In terms of thermodynamics, a system is classified in terms of the forms of energy transfer allowed to and from the external world. The forms of energy transfer considered in thermodynamics are work and heat, and energy transfer associated with the transfer of matter (mass).

abbreviation

A system that allows the transfer of matter to and from the outside world is called an open system, while a system that does not allow the transfer of matter is called a closed system. A closed system that does not allow the transfer of heat energy in addition to the transfer of matter is called an adiabatic system.

Furthermore, among adiabatic systems, a system that does not allow the transfer of energy due to work in addition to the transfer of matter and heat, in other words, a system that does not allow the transfer of any energy, is called an isolated system. In a system in which there is a limit to the transfer of energy to and from the outside world, the laws corresponding to that limit are established: the law of conservation of energy in an isolated system, the law of entropy increase in an adiabatic system, and the law of conservation of mass in a closed system.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm sorry to use an analogy, but I think that firm is probably "a stance that interprets in a closed system".

A method that calculates the end result based on the given conditions and knowledge already known.

There, a certain degree of law is established, and the magic of reproducibility emerges.

In this way, the future that one desires is easily attainable by taking certain steps.

However, living in a society is full of uncertainties.

The premise is not stable because new elements are added or subtracted along the way, i.e., an open system.

So, it is hard to establish a law, and it is impossible to make a comprehensible outlook.

While being perplexed by the noise that comes unexpectedly, we try adding to it, assembling it, looking at it, and reinterpreting it like climbing a spiral staircase, thinking that it might actually have meaning.

What a daze, and just in time because we have another new intern coming in next week.

I will try to ask casually and softly.

A company built backwards from the age of 80

When you run a company, you must be aware of the "retirement age" delineated by employment regulations and social insurance.

Although I would like to work with everyone all the time, I also feel that a line needs to be drawn when considering the success of the younger generation.

If you are forced to separate when you retire, how do you feel before and after?

You will still be somewhat lonely, you will feel a sense that something will be empty, and you will be reluctant to try new things.

If that is the case, how about "not daring to separate the two and looking at it from the opposite direction"?

In other words, there is no concept of retirement, and the company is able to adapt to all kinds of ailments.

You can keep going as long as you are motivated, and you can quit at any time.

You can choose once a week or five days a week, and you don't have to be in poor health to do it.

Work that can be done even if one's energy is diminished, hospitalized, or in need of nursing care.

It's up to him, but it would be fun to hand him a new job as a way of paying him a visit.

What kind of organization is built backwards from the average health of an 80 year old, instead of assuming the 20 to 50 year olds who are in the prime of their working lives?

What form of business would be available for such a new company?

I have been trying to do that recently, albeit singlehandedly.

A coordinate system that everyone can come back to

When the evening breeze turns cold, I carry my old telescope up to the roof of my office.

I watch the stars fluttering in the early evening and the crescent moon setting before heading home, and I find this annual routine surprisingly relaxing.

Three Hundred Sixty-Five Nights of Stars
Hoei Nojiri (Author)

Shortly after ten o'clock, I saw Orion rising for the first time this year. I walked to the west side of the garden and watched it without any obstruction.

Not that I had not seen it at dawn in summer since I sent it off to the western horizon in late spring, but it was a fading figure, and tonight was the first time I had seen it in six months. I busily studied the arrangement of the three stars, the three small stars, and the four stars surrounding them in a rectangle, their individual colors, and the twinkling of their eyes, and felt a sense of relief.

This is something I have experienced every year around this time since I first saw them as a boy on a wintry night, and the impression of these magnificent constellations always seems young and fresh, as if I am seeing them for the first time. To be able to repeat this marvel and praise year after year, and even to repeat it until the day I die, is a privilege reserved for those who are close to the stars.
Wooooo!

It is precisely because we enjoy adjusting to the ever-changing world that the time we spend standing back at the unchanging point seems to shine brighter than ever.

Since we are going to take on many challenges without ceasing in the company, I want to cherish a coordinate system that will bring us all back to the same place at this season like stars twinkling equally in the same place.

Just this month we started our 17th season, and I am going to work on those things that change/remain the same, first of all.

To a partner with a different background

Teaching and being taught is difficult.

I can't get the message across at all, no matter how much I try.
I don't know what to do after I've been taught.
The ideal person is someone who can naturally lead me to a great place.

I was pacified every time I heard a plausible (?) opinion, but I wondered what I should really do. I was pacified every time I heard an opinion, but I wondered what I should really do.

To put it bluntly, since the other person and I are different people, I think it is essentially "impossible to teach/be taught.

And the fact that someone did well is predicated on his or her experience, personality, and timing.

If another person imitates it verbatim, there is no guarantee that it will work anywhere.

The dishonesty of continuing to teach/learn with the uncertainty of

But that doesn't mean you want to give up on delivering something to someone from a different background.

But, I don't know what to do.

I wonder what is good to be communicated and how it should be.

It was around this time that I came across the sentence of a single scoop.

I think that is still the basis of how we teach at Mogic.

Reading the Heart of Poetry

If anything truly deserves the name of education, it is when one is able to educate oneself.

We are very passive when it comes to education, thinking that someone will take care of us, but it is much more active.

I feel that education is complete when you can develop within yourself the most demanding teacher.

Schools are there to provide a little guidance to help you achieve this.

Ishigaki Rin, a high school elementary school graduate, has written many times that he has always felt inferior in terms of his educational background, or perhaps he does not realize it, but he appears to be one of the rare people who has been able to educate himself rigorously.
He is a rare person who was able to educate himself strictly.

We want to seize the future for ourselves.

When it comes to running a company, there are roughly 11 layers of time ranges alone.

1st layer: tens of seconds to minutes
2nd layer: 1-2 hours
Layer 3: 6-8 hours
Layer 4: 2-3 days
Layer 5: 10 days
Layer 6: 1-3 months
Layer 7: 6-12 months
Layer 8: 2-3 years
Layer 9: 5 years
Layer 10: 10-15 years
Layer 11: 30 years

If we include one more unit, it is the spatial width.

Layer 1: I'm reading my e-mail.
Layer 2: You are working alone, such as creating a document
Layer 3: I am listening to what the other person is saying.
Layer 4: Confirming that you understand what the other person is saying.
Layer 5: You are listening to more than one person.
Layer 6: I understand what more than one person is saying and then confirm it.
Layer 7: I am listening to the status of the project
Layer 8: I understand and confirm the project
Tier 9: I am looking at the degree of interference of multiple projects
Tier 10: I evaluate and correct each project
Tier 11: I am looking at the degree of cooperation between departments, etc.

If one more unit is included, it is the range of occupational categories.

1st Piece: General Affairs / General Affairs
2nd one: Human Resources
3rd Piece: Accounting
4th one: Finance
5th: Legal
Sixth: Sales
7 pcs: Marketing
8 pcs: Development
9 pcs: Design
10: Quality Control
11th: Information Systems, etc.

In addition, of course, we need to look at people and

1st piece: tone of voice, facial expression, gesture
Second: Tone and wording of what is said.
Third: Comprehension of the request.
Fourth: Sensitivity to deadlines
Fifth: Personality and special skills
Sixth: Persistence and carelessness
Number 7: Inner motivation
Eighth: Emotional presentation
Number 9: Strong thinking style
10: Stance toward collaboration
11: Previous ways of working, etc.

When people come together, there is an organization.

First piece: office equipment
Piece 2: Work rules and evaluation system
Piece 3: Department names and roles
Piece 4: Project decisions and progress
5: Roles and advancement for each position
6: Establish work flow
7: Determination of communication methods
Piece 8: Approval and decision-making process
Pt. 9: Adjustment of values
10th piece: How to deal with problems
Eleventh: Training and recruitment flow, etc.

If you have an organization, you need a strategy.

First piece: Economic and social trends
2nd piece: Development of the industry
Piece 3: Entry and exit of players
Fourth: Steps in financing and equipment procurement
Fifth: Speed of know-how accumulation
Sixth: Degree of human resource development
7: Project length
Eighth: Optimal combination of multiple projects
9. Thinking to transform weaknesses into strengths
10 pt. 10: Evaluation of a vast number of future scenarios
Eleventh: Calculate and recover from risks, etc.

If we only inflate the risk.

First one: Influence of world affairs
2nd piece: Economic cycles
Third: Changes in regulations
Number 4: Increased competition
Fifth: Decline in value
Sixth: Mismanagement of funds
Number 7: Deterioration in quality
Number 8: Retirements and organizational breakdown
Number 9: Cyber attack information leakage
Number 10: Breach of contract or conflict of interest
Eleventh: Compliance violations, etc.

A surprisingly large number of payments are made to government and local governments.

1st: Corporate income tax
2nd: Corporate inhabitant tax
3rd : Enterprise tax
4th: Local corporation tax
5: Consumption tax and local consumption tax
6: Fixed property tax
7: Health insurance
8: Employee Pension Insurance
9: Unemployment insurance
10: Workers' accident compensation insurance
11th item: burden of payment of source and social insurance, etc.

Phew, I am exhausted just writing this out, but of course there is more.

So, as you have already guessed, there can be all kinds of trouble and bad luck ahead of a huge number of combinations.

And yet, why do you still want to run the company?

If you cannot answer that question, you will probably lose heart at some point.

We wanted to "grab hold of a future we could believe in, even if we had to go to such lengths.

It doesn't matter if you scarfed down a souvenir from Hokkaido in the early afternoon, sliced up the last watermelon of the year, or snacked on Daifuku in the middle of autumn (or something like that yesterday).

If you feel it has meaning and value, go for it.

Even if you are teetering on an endless sea of possibilities, you will soon discover what is important as soon as you ride the wave of "uniqueness".

So it is simple in one sense and easy in another.

Closing month is something of a set-up.

This September is the closing month for Mogic.

I thought back to how things used to be during this time of year, so I traced Mogic's history on our in-house wiki.

September 2011: Moved into first office and purchased a large number of MFPs, chairs, etc.
September 2012: Built news media in one month & celebratory barbecue
September 2013: LearnO press release with over 50,000 users in 1 year
September 2014: Significantly increased the number of open positions for employees & played with electric kickboards
▪ September 2015: Expanded by signing a contract for a 1st/2nd floor in addition to the 3rd/4th floor at the current office
▪ September 2016: almost complete division of labor in the company's workflow
▪ September 2017: Temporary response to a major object storage failure
▪ September 2018: Creation of a design subsidiary
▪ September 2019: Go live with our own recruitment management tool
▪ September 2020: Renewal of the Mogic website & launch of the ordering department

September 2022: Logo installed after obtaining ISMS certification
September 2023: Final screen build for LearnO rebranding
September 2024: Preparation of Good Design award presentation

I still feel that the end of the term is somewhat eventful.

I'm stuck in the middle of the year, so I think I'll set something up now.

bad things will happen in rapid succession

We often see explosive growth, or exponential amplification.

To put it simply, it is a graph that is growing steadily and quickly toward the upper right corner of the graph.

Because it is intuitively positive, it is often used in business settings to make an appeal.

Contrary to this, however, "exponential decay" is almost never mentioned.

The graph that sinks into the lower right corner, which seemed to make more sense than expected, so I will try to deepen it.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Exponential decay
h ttps:// w.wiki/6Jsy

Exponential decay, or exponential decay, is the rate at which a quantity decreases is proportional to the amount by which it decreases.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

This is a bit circuitous, so let me try to express it with a simple example.

What would happen if there were 1000 treats and 10% of that time was lost each day? Let's assume that

1st day: 1000 pieces - 100 pieces * 10% = 900 pieces
2nd day: 900 pieces - 900 pieces * 10% = 810 pieces
3rd day: 810 pieces - 810 pieces * 10% = 729 pieces
4th day: 729 pieces - 729 pieces * 10% = 656 pieces
5th day: 656 pieces - 656 pieces*10% = 590 pieces
・・・・・
Day 10: 387 pieces - 387 pieces*10% = 349 pieces
・・・・・
Day 15: 228 pieces - 228 pieces*10% = 206 pieces
・・・・・
Day 20: 135 - 135 * 10% = 121
・・・・・
30th day: 47 - 47 * 10% = 42

What I can roughly tell is that there is a sudden decrease at the beginning, and the rest is blah.

If it were linear, it would proceed more leisurely, and this would be the most important characteristic of exponential decrease.

So if you feel, "Oh, why did things suddenly get worse?" and then "Why do bad things keep piling up?" you may be indicating exponential decay.

How should we think about applying this phenomenon in business?

To do so, we must first understand the "background of exponential, not linear".

If we cannot identify the conditions under which the exponential effect is at work, the comparison with linear will be meaningless.

The expectation that immediately comes to mind is that if the elements in a group (set) are independent and discrete, it is likely to be linear, and if the elements are connected to each other like a network, it will be exponential.

If we take "happiness" as an example, the elements that make up happiness (money to spend as one pleases, job satisfaction, dependable friends and family, one's own personality, free time, comfortable environment, etc.) are interconnected, so if even one of them deteriorates, the chain of events will rapidly lower the sense of happiness. If one of them worsens, the chain of happiness will rapidly decline.

There may be others, but please note that this is just a small application.

Then the guiding principle would be, "If a situation is found that deteriorates rapidly, it should not be treated as a single cause," and "Operations that span many departments must be tackled first, even though they are difficult.

We won't know until we try it, but it will at least prepare us for a rapidly worsening event.

Hell's lid opens and closes.

We will be on Obon vacation for 9 days starting tomorrow.

Since this is a slightly longer vacation, preparations are being made here and there.

I water my desk plants, set up auto-replies to inquiries, check the emergency contact network in case of emergencies, and check the door locks in places I might accidentally leave.

Yeah, well, we all know this area very well, so it is as stable as usual.

A sense of stability that moves forward without missing a beat, ummm, and therefore a sense of uneasiness that arises from the question, "Is this the right thing to do?

It's because of the unchanging Obon that we can stop and think about it for a moment.

So, I have done a little research on Obon.

I will start by quoting the origin from wiki.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
h ttps:// w.wiki/3snB

It is called "Bon" (generally "Obon") as an abbreviation of the Buddhist term "Uranbonkai.

Bon" literally means a container in which offerings to the spirits are placed, so it became a name for the spirits who are enshrined with offerings, and some say that it became confused with Uran-bon and merged with Uran-bon.

In Chinese culture, there is a custom, centering on Taoism, to designate the seventh month of the lunar calendar as the "demon month. The belief that the lid of hell opens on the first day of the seventh lunar month and closes on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the Zhong Yuan Festival, is thought to have been influenced by Taoism.

The Mid-Yuan Festival is still celebrated with great fanfare as an ancestor worship event, especially in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and southern China.

The definite origin of the tray is not known.

It is said that the early spring festival became a New Year's festival because it emphasized the divine status of the ancestral spirit as the god of the year, and the early autumn festival became a Buddhist event by merging with Uran-bon. The early autumn version is said to have merged with Uran-bon, and became a Buddhist event.

In Japan, the custom of holding ancestral memorial services in summer is believed to have been established around the 8th century.

abbreviation

On the evening of the 16th, the day after the 15th Bon festival, men and women of all ages gather at temples and shrines to dance, which is called Bon Odori.

It is said to imitate the state of joyous dancing of the departed who have been spared the torments of hell. It is the climax of the summer festival.

Note that the newly held Bon Dances are often held at a slightly different time of the year to avoid competition with other Bon Dances.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Obon as a traditional event that has existed for more than 1,000 years.

Ancestral offerings, offerings to the spirits, and Taoist and Buddhist influences are all intertwined in Obon.

Obon dance to prevent new bon dances from being clashed with other bon dances.

The image that comes to mind is that of an outcropping where various thoughts of each era are folded and piled up.

It is a tray that does not seem to be a straightforward process, but it is what it is.

This must be a rare time when the lid of hell opens and then closes again, so I hope that we will be able to nourish our spirits during this period of dimensional overlap and push forward toward the New Year.
