Musk's five-step decision-making method:
Step 1: Identify your needs.
Step 2: Vigorously delete the part or process.
Step 3: Simplify and optimize.
Step 4: Speed up the cycle time.
Step 5: Automation.
Be careful not to accelerate before the third step.
We use dialectics to study Musk's five-step decision-making method.
The Theory of Contradiction: p.Need + possibility = reality, so need is the closest to reality, need is demand, may be technology, and at the same time need and possibility constitute a set of positive and negative, so, 1) need to be able to give birth to possibility (technology), 2) possibility (technology) can give birth to new needs.1. The two sides of every contradiction in the development of things, each with its opposite aspect as the premise of its existence, coexist in a unity;Clause.
2. The two sides of the contradiction, according to certain conditions, each move towards the opposite aspect.
For example,
Li Shufu: "Building a car is just a carrier, a practice, and a practice room for him to build online technology. ”From Musk's other nine companies, it can be seen that this nature is relatively strong.
The need is the closest to the "reality", and probably the closest (technology) to the "dream". Therefore, the need that Musk wants to achieve has a strong nature of serving the dream - immigrating to Mars and making humanity a multi-planetary species.
Therefore, reality and dreams constitute a set of pros and cons, which need to be defined by both the market and the possibility (technology) - that is, the dream is defined, which stipulates the quality of the need
Great man: It is a two-front struggle, and the method of two-front struggle is used to stipulate the relative quality.Through this joint definition of the market and the dream, the relative quality is prescribed.
For example, Tesla's all-in-one body.
Existence and non-existence constitute a set of positive and negative, the determination of the demand is the process from nothing, and then to move from existence to nothing, such a manifestation is to delete parts and processes.
This kind of completion of the whole cycle of requirements, after defining the quality of needs with dreams, has been innovated, and by moving from existence to nothing, trying to remove parts and processes, innovation has been obtained.
Instead of continuing the old ways.
The dream has shaken the old way, and this striving to remove parts and processes has shaken the walk again, so once it is done, it will get a new way - subversive innovation.
In other words, the quality of innovation is defined by starting from nothing and from something to nothing.
In the process of starting from nothing and from having to nothing, there must be redundancy and complexity, so it is necessary to go to its opposite - simplification and optimization.
This is both from nothing to being, and from being to nothing.
This step is the standard process.
The first three steps are all a process of thinking and designing, thinking slowly and acting fast. It's going from slow to fast. This is also the process of getting rid of competitors and constantly filling the market through rhythm.
By moving from slow to fast, and then to the front thinking and design, the pressure is transformed into motivation. And through acceleration, we continue to maintain the user's freshness of the product.
Artificial and automated, constitute a group of positive and negative, the first four steps, are manual processes - more human intervention, through the realization of automation - machine realization, from manual to automated.
According to the principle of dialectics, automation and artificiality must coexist—the relative qualities are defined by these two aspects.
