First of all, I made a detailed record of working hours, work contents and work results every day.
After two weeks of recording, I found that daily business, such as business meetings and staff training, consumes the most energy, while the most valuable business is pioneering business, such as attending industry summits, introducing and refining KPI system for employees, etc. What I should do most is to solve the practical difficulties of middle and low-level employees through data driving.
Therefore, the vague consciousness of "busy work" has become a specific problem of "how to improve the availability of financial data as a whole"
Then I did two things, one was to optimize the company's workflow with the guidance of "value", and the other was to establish a reference dictionary of the work data of various departments with the guidance of "information quality".
Because the effect of this event on reducing the operating costs of enterprises is very obvious, the promotion is also very fast. Since "Teacher Han promoted the data reform, most problems have been solved efficiently".
The advantage of mathematical thinking is to make the problem clear from ambiguity, which is equivalent to establishing a data coordinate system in an empty space, so that the direction and steps of improvement can be well recorded and counted.
Over time, the qualitative analysis of speed, quantity, quality and height that we usually say can be simplified to quantitative operation.
It should be noted that mathematical thinking is an abstract and simplified thinking system, which is best used to solve existing problems. This is mainly related to the development of prefrontal cortex, which manages attention.
Before the age of 20, the prefrontal cortex was underdeveloped. At this time, although the attention is poor, distracted and impulsive, due to the lack of censorship mechanism, the creativity is also the most.
Therefore, although mathematical thinking is beneficial to our daily work and personal development, we must know its usage scenarios and limitations.
In this regard, Lai Shengchuan mentioned a method in his Lai Shengchuan Creativity, that is, "Creativity is not an instant inspiration, but the ability to continuously produce works."
Divided into two steps, one is to brew a new model in your mind; Then express this model in an appropriate form; That's what Jobs said: "Creativity is to connect different things."
Lai Shengchuan called it "training conception software", that is, the knowledge level is "extensive" and the materials are "datable".
This is also an advanced application of "mathematical thinking".
