Mogic considers

Limited and limited

Events often encountered in the Corona disaster include price spikes and service interruptions due to supply shortages.

At first we ran out of masks and disinfectant, and then the hospital beds were overwhelmed and there were fewer openings for people to change jobs.

Recently, gasoline prices have risen, rental properties in Nerima are running out of space, and the items we had ordered from China are not being delivered.

I thought that what was commonplace before Corona was supported by an invisible "abundance".

At the same time, they must have realized that there is a limit to the amount of carbon dioxide they can emit and never thought that they would no longer be able to catch fish in Japan, which is supported by abundant fishery resources.

After Corona, will all things aim for abundance again? I think not.

The idea of replacing the former abundance with "limited and limited" was the next necessary step, and the past few years may have been the beginning of this process.

Desperate desire pushes forward

I was watching a documentary program on the Chopin Competition and was really curious about something, so I did a little research and found an interesting article, which I will quote first.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The ease of access to the performances of great musicians is a great temptation for young performers to make a quick buck in order to gain public acceptance.

To get to the heart of the matter, instead of extensively exploring the composer's life and works, he tries to use interpretations that already exist.

So you think you can use shortcuts to achieve success.

This Desperate Desire to win applause in a short period of time makes many young interpreters average, predictable, and standard.

Its performance has no personality and does not linger long in the memory or touch the emotions.

I call this second-hand interpretation.

Truly sensitive and musically interested artists avoid listening to other people's recordings and seek inspiration in what the composer has written and in their own emotional and mental responses that arise from it.

A small portion of individuality is inborn.

Life experience allows everyone to develop their individuality, but it can also be further developed by absorbing the experiences of other great artists, reading books, visiting museums, and watching good movies.

Many young people are so busy trying to "perfect" their playing that they forget that it is only a physical component of their art.

We don't have time to devote to the spiritual part. This is why we resort to imitating other recordings. ......

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

What I was wondering was how we could evaluate output on a subject where sensitivity is so important.

Another article also said that the evaluation is comprehensive in terms of interpretation, composition, imagination, and expression.

To begin with, the theme is limited to building a performance using only Chopin's music.

If we drop the current artificial intelligence AI here, it will play the best one based on the analysis of each judge's preference, the composition of previously rated pieces, and the performance method.

How would that be evaluated? If you ask me if I would like to hear it, I personally am not very interested.

Is it because I'm not used to it or because I think I'm missing something?

I believe this is an important part of creating services and products.

Sexual misconduct and the audit zanpatsu

Over the past few years, Mogic's operations have grown even more, with more things to use and more to do.

With that, I suspected that the efforts of the directors alone to check the company were reaching their limits.

So a year ago, I gathered some people within the company and started a risk audit committee.

We meet about once a month to identify possible risks and create a policy to deal with them.

Only then do we switch our stance to a sexist view, and discuss what kind of mechanism is best to prevent the creation of devious feelings, should they arise.

That is how I believe many systems, tools, and work flows have set and improved the level of information management.

But for some reason I felt that was not enough, so this year I decided to have an outside audit done by an accounting or law firm.

What we found as a result was that there was a lack of attention to things that were largely contained but in small proportions (a few percent of the total in terms of cost).

Although it is a small percentage, someone should check it out because you never know what kind of chain of events the risks that occur there might be.

In this way, a flow was created to systematically check even the smallest expenses.

Steady maintenance is essential for everyone to enjoy doing this.

Office and Field Workers

Mogic has a department called Basic Education that specializes in in-house education.

As the name "Basic" suggests, we help build basic fitness.

We support newcomers, from part-timers and interns to new hires, who are unfamiliar with IT-related work and thinking for themselves.

Since each person is unique and has a different background and situation, we start with interviews, participant observation, and situation analysis.

Then, as the issues are gradually identified, we will offer a combination of workshops and group work that has worked well in the past.

Sometimes we develop entirely new methods.

In the past, there was a group work training program called coffee roasting and pastry making.

The only thing to be careful of is proper involvement, which should not be too one-sided or too frequent.

I just support Mogic from time to time so that I can work in my own way in the field of Mogic.

We have set up a separate department that has no vested interest in the project because we think that an in-house educator might be too sympathetic to the project and that a human resources department might be too tied to the evaluation.

I have been talking to the Basic Education staff every week for over two years now, and strangely enough, the discussions never end.

The joy of starting with a clean slate

I am helping three subsidiary companies with their new offices in Kamiishakujii.

Similar to the Shakujii Koen office, it has designer specifications and a spacious terrace, and now you can see the white Mt.

There is no greenery as expected since it is on the 6th floor, but we plan to present many plants for the floor.

Everything from refrigerators to vacuum cleaners, desks and chairs, pans and forks must be provided.

I remember when we opened our first office as Mogic a long time ago.

It is really fun to start with a clean slate and build it up to be our own.
