2022-12-02 on the day of the event.
When I looked on the morning of the day, a surprising majority of people had started making nets.
The only pre-task was to make 25 labels and read the lecture material, which was very active and good!
I went around commenting on the state of affairs as of this morning, as there was no merit in procrastinating.

Jiro Kawakita assembled up to 800 labels at once.
Six-round cumulative KJ method is less than 1%.
Late 2022-06 Study group plans are taking shape.
It's hard to verbalize what you don't understand.
Don't put time pressure on label creation.
I'm not going to do one round of narrowly defined KJ method.
Whether you call it an exploration net (fireworks) or not, it will be something close to that!
A practical example of information granularity by Jiro Kawakita
Difficult to practice daily without mastering the daily fireworks report even if only the KJ method is mastered
Occasional collecting
I'm confused because I seem to be in more than one group.
On the correctness of the KJ method
The flow of birth of fireworks to think about
Parable of the Bicycle
It would be a shame not to put it in writing.
Doing the data and letting it speak for itself is not "doing the facts and ~."

Walking eyes and airplane eyes
KJ method from surveys is the most difficult.
After all, isn't everything subjective to oneself?
Not sure if the client's output is correct.

The term "KJ method" is vague
Mission of the nameplate
The lone wolf is worth it.
Conflicting labels are placed close together.

The event was postponed, so a study session was held earlier within Cybozu using the same lecture materials.
Questions added.
2022-11-16 Meeting
The lecture material was to be a short 30 minute version.
It is inefficient to use voice, a protocol with low information density, for one-way information transfer.

2022-11-30 Rehearsal meeting
KJ Method Study Session @ Loftwork_Lecture Material v2
Tried speaking, 31 minutes.
Process: Create a short version of the lecture material.
I'm worried about the not-so-smooth part because time is tight unlike when I spoke at the Cybozu workshop... I'll have to record it once and get the kebab out of the way.
A concept that began to take shape in discussions during the meeting, "Making the Loftwork way a means, not an end."
There was an uncomfortable feeling when I saw the question "How do you think we can create the Loftwork style?" in the post-course survey.
For veterans who have developed their own style in accordance with their work, the appropriate question is "How can we share this style within the organization and not keep it to ourselves?
Not an appropriate question for someone new to the KJ method.
I prefer content that I feel I have more control over.
They said some people thought the parable was funny.
The story of focusing on metaphors and developing them in the world of metaphors is described in detail in (6.2.4) Parables, metaphors, and analogies of The Engineer's Guide to Intellectual Production.

When I looked on the morning of the day, a surprising majority of people had started making nets.
The only pre-task was to make 25 labels and read the lecture material, which was very active and good!
Maybe it was a good thing that each individual's situation was visualized and shared on Miro.

I went around commenting on the state of affairs as of this morning, as there was no merit in procrastinating.
