2021-02-10 "No criticism, no condemnation, no support, no praise, no advice, just silence" [長年日記]

As a citizen of the host country, I am interested in where the Tokyo Olympics is going.

We are currently in the midst of an unprecedented disaster: a global viral outbreak.

Historically speaking, it would not have been surprising if a nation or two had been wiped off the face of the earth.

-----

The Olympics is a national event.

Naturally, there must be several scenarios, including implementation, postponement, or cancellation -- and I think many people are thinking that.

However, I would like to cast my vote for 'the second scenario is not prepared.

-----

This is because when I am a project leader, I don't think about multiple scenarios, or rather, I can't think about them.

Preparing for multiple scenarios requires a considerable investment of human resources, time, and money, but basically, there is no room for that at the project site.

The scariest thing is to have a field commander who doesn't understand the field -- -- Most project failures start with this commander.

This is because it is rare that a first-rate field commander is assigned to a burning site.

-----

A commander who can grasp the field is an ace in any department. No department wants to let go of its ace.

And that ace can instantly understand the burning condition of the scene. And he/she would refuse to participate at all costs.

As a result, a "useless," "unnecessary," and "helpless" commander is assigned to the burning site, and the project is headed for accelerated collapse.

Well, it may be a bit too violent to discuss the Olympics and private projects in the same sentence.

-----

The other thing is that "failure" does not require a specific scenario.

With a scenario, it is possible to lead a failure to a soft landing.

However, whether it is a soft landing or a hard landing, in the end, "failure is failure.

There are few people who have an eye for the approach of failure. The number of people who have an aesthetic appreciation for failure is almost nonexistent.

-----

I don't know where the Tokyo Olympics is going.

But I ,who has been forced to be "in the field" a lot, think that
