(Column) Emergency decomposition theory
In a book "Intellectual Productivity Improvement System: DIPS" Kobayashi Tadahito proposed the following checklist on how to deal with an emergency which we have to do more than we can do today. *1 Can we lower the quality?
Can we reduce the amount?
Can we postpone deadlines?
Can we change the method?
Can you substitute a thing with another one?
Can you solve it with money?
We should stop it if there is no way we can.
