――What are three important hints for improving productivity in your personal workplace?

　8 hours sleep is basic.If it doesn't reach 8 hours, take a nap during the day to make it 8 hours.If you don't sleep on that day or you can only sleep for about 4 hours, you will lose the integrated sensation, even if you remember the facts.That state is not limited to my heart.I think everyone is the same.

　Other methods are a time management system called "Pomodoro Technique".This method is a time management system with time to concentrate on the toDo list and time to relax so that various ideas can be entered.

　In addition, the idea is visualized using the "mind map", and it branches into more dimensions, leading to a conclusion.

――When Minister Tan collaborates with his colleagues, three hints are operated by the team (task distribution (task allocation is (task distribution)・ What are the three important hints for sharing goals, time management, solving bottlenecks, stakeholder management)?

　I believe that strong mutual trust is the most important base for productive collaboration.If there is a strong mutual trust between the teams, everyone can fill the empty parts and contribute anytime, anywhere.One of the digital tools used by my team is "Kanban Workflow" online.All progressive projects are listed as cards on the board, and team members can always update their initiatives and progress.

　In fact, when I joined the cabinet, there were three agreements (aggregation) instead of contracts (contracts), and I agree with the Cabinet. The first of the agreement is "independence of the place." I work anytime, anywhere, everywhere. Lots of pandemic, remote work in this Cabinet, was a standard environment. The second is "spontaneous action". I do not order and I do not receive instructions. All ministries are spontaneously working with me. The third is "thorough transparency". Everything I can see can be published for public benefits. Our remarks are read and analyzed by the future generations, so this transparency gives conversation quality between generations. I believe that the essence of conversation is about long -term and public interests, which helps to promote the possibility of innovation. And without trust, all of them will not work.

　So far, my team has been working smoothly in this way and has been able to work more efficiently than conventional face -to -face.I think each other's strong trust and three "compacts" play an important role.

――In the pandemic workplace, such as lack of teamwork, collisions with limited communication in chat, frequent Zoom meetings (Zoom fatigue), and lack of exercise, people are suffering from new problems.Do you have any advice for those who can't change themselves as a "pandemic version"?

　Before the pandemic happened, I was flying around the world to attend an international conference, but during the pandemic, my work time was even more fulfilling.Now I get up early in the morning to meet friends in the United States and Canadian, chat with friends in the Asian Pacific region in the daytime, and participate in European video conferences at night.I can live in a borderless world and travel around the world in one day.It's a virtual way.

　In fact, long before the pandemic occurred, my office had become a common work in my office.The staff works in various places, and video conferences and Sandstorms.IO (Kanban DOCS), Hackmd (Knowledge Base), Rocket.Chat (multifunctional group chat), and POL.We use digital tools such as IS (public opinion voting) to communicate at the same time anytime, anywhere.Anytime, anywhere, everyone can catch up in real time and contribute.When I face a difficult problem, I will sleep in an open discussion.The next morning, when I woke up, my colleagues often had great ideas.Such an event was beyond my expectations!

　In other words, the words of my favorite Canadian songwriter, Leonard Cohen, say, "Forget to make a bell that can still sound and provide perfectly."In fact, there is no perfect offer.So my advice is "not a perfectionist."Be a little more confident in yourself and others, and take a step from your comfort zone.

―― Due to the influence of the pandemic, the remote work and their careers are positive in a positive form.How should business people a career strategy in a new paradigm called post -pandemic?(Example: New methods to improve business skills, new work, new skills, redefine the meaning of universities, companies, and teams) What are the avoidance anti -patterns to avoid?Is not it?(Example: I believe in the old concept too much, stick to the economy even though the economy has dropped significantly)

　No matter what, I think the hybrid working will survive.The important thing is to maintain resilience and professional activity.According to the experience of pandemic measures, if you bet on all defense, you will not be able to predict how the variant will behave when a new variant comes out.On the other hand, if you have the ability without being tied to a specific strategy, you can actually organize it in a few days when a new variant occurs and adjust the strategy into a resilient one.。

Resilience = flexibility to act quickly.The idea of putting the emphasis on moving the fastest moving flexibly according to the situation rather than being prepared too much.The opposite word is Robust, and the intention is to put the emphasis on preparation and to be resistant to things.

　Therefore, when formulating a career strategy in the post -pandemic era, in addition to building a specific strategy to protect yourself from unknown dangers, it will be constructed mainly in resilience and continuity.It is very important to collect information early and actively act.

――What are the top three positive / negative changes in the career environment of people (in short, medium and long terms?

　In the future, I think the work environment that makes full use of decentralization, remote work, and technology will increase.Whether these are positive or negative changes depends on your way of thinking.I think a comprehensive and open mind is a way to survive an uncertain era.

　On October 25, 2021, the Technical Review Company launched our book, Digital Shift of Work Style: Supplory Organization Prescription Started with Remote Work.

　In addition to the entire interview with Audrey Tan, we will introduce "How to adapt to the DX of the work style extended to the extension of remote work" after presenting "current issues and measures in remote work".increase.By overcoming the current problems and knowing the path to work styles that will become mainstream in the future, it is a book that can solve the anxiety about the changes in the work style that readers feel.Does AI give light to humanity suffering from Corona?I hope you can read it.
