(concept) Connecting to the Japanese context will help Japanese people better understand Plurality, and it will also provide an opportunity for people around the world to gain new insights from Plurality. Many still find Plurality difficult to understand. I believe that increasing layers of understanding through descriptions from diverse perspectives, connections with various examples, and parallel rephrasing is beneficial.

高速な民意反映

Instead of "broadcast," we should use "broad listening."

ブロードキャスト: 一人の声を多数へ発信

Broadcast: One voice for many

既存の意見募集

broadlistening

I love this concept.

人間の認知能力の増強である

It is an augmentation of human cognitive abilities.

This illustration of broad listening derives from "Changes in organizational structure by LLM"

managerial thinking

階層的組織構造

人間の認知能力を超えて組織のサイズが大きくなったことによって必要になった

Hierarchical organizational structures were necessitated by an increase in the size of the organization beyond human cognitive capacity.

LLM will decrease this necessities.

Cultures of Japanese Organization

Erin Meyerの研究によれば日本は階層的で合意重視の極端な文化

Erin Meyer's research shows that Japan is a hierarchical, consensus-oriented culture of extremes.

from Words as Public Goods

Erin Meyer's research shows that Japan is a hierarchical but consensus-oriented culture.

Japanese culture is different from that of many countries around the world. Mutual understanding of each other's cultures would be beneficial in building a new society.

Vulcan belief that beauty, growth, progress -- all result from the union of the unlike.

Avoids Confrontation

Anonymity

The majority of Japanese people do not want to express their opinions using their real names.

All Japanese speakers at international conferences are outliers of Japanese culture.

リーダーは対立する人々の匿名の声を広く聞かなければならない(listen broadly)

Leaders of Japanese organization must listen broadly to the anonymous voices of those in conflict.

Jiro Kawakita and Broad Listening

Good: Democratic / Bad: Autocratic

Even a distant monkey fits naturally

Even a distant monkey that could not join a group naturally merges into the group.

Theme

発想法 p.77

It is completely wrong to move from broad categories to finer ones. We must always proceed from finer categories to broader ones. This is one of the critical issues with this method. ...

This is because in your mind, you already have a preconceived notion about how to categorize the pieces of information, such as "According to my understanding, it is correct to broadly categorize these pieces of paper into market research, quality control, and labor management." You are merely applying this arbitrary classification framework and sorting the pieces of information into these preconceived categories. This completely nullifies the creative significance of the KJ Method.

あらかじめ頭の中にもっているグループ分けの原理を適用し、そのできあいのワクの中にたんに紙きれの資料をふるい分けて、はめこんでいるだけでは KJ法の発想的意義はまったく死んでしまう。(西尾要約)

Merely applying the existing principles of grouping in your mind and sorting the pieces of information into these ready-made frameworks completely nullifies the creative significance of the KJ Method.

We must let go of existing frameworks.

"ready-made grouping frameworks"

先入観によって作られたグループ境界を壊さなければならない

We must break down the boundaries of groups created by preconceptions.

Ken Suzuki's idea of "NAMERAKA(smooth)" boundary blurring,

世界をフラットではなく、ステップでもなく、NAMERAKA(smooth)にしよう

FLAT

均質

homogeneous / singular

STEP

差異がある

分断

differences / divided into parts

smooth boundary without division

均一にするのではなく、しかし分断をなくして境界をなめらかにする

We should not to make world homogeneous to resolve division. We should make the boundaries NAMERAKA(smooth).

✅

人々の認知能力を増強することは境界をなめらかにする

Augmenting human cognitive abilities smoothes boundaries.

これが分断を超えて協力するために必要なことだと思う

this is what we need to do to work together across the divide
