Joe Justice, former Tesla employee and consultant to just about every major business you've heard of, discusses how Japanese "Just ON Time" culture has been transformative to their society in the past, but with the advent of Elon Musk's SpaceX and Tesla has fallen behind to Tesla's more agile (or post-agile) business model. Check out his amazing insights in this episode!

When I realized that I had seen this video already, I just kept watching . Why? Because Dr. KIA’s is my most repeat-watched channel anyway. He explains technical things so complex, others wouldn’t even try. It’s possible to learn real detailed stuff from him, but usually not on the first take.

Joe can you perhaps talk about: A) industries where Agile is not conducive mature businesses like for example B) How do you deal with Agile when you don’t have the luxury monetary wise to reiterate expensive products at a rapid pace

Toyota's culture seems aligned with Samurai principles, honing skills and technologies to perfection and creating high levels of quality, productivity, and beauty thereby. Tesla's culture seems aligned with more utilitarian Shinobi principles, emphasizing effectiveness, efficiency, and acquisition of useful knowledge over perfection and skill. Hopefully both will eventually make excellent BEVs at the scales needed to help transition the energy systems of our global societies to sanity and sustainability.

Joe, what are known as "counters" also occur in English, and, like Japanese, are based on context. Musicians play solo, duo, trio, etc. Baseball players hit singles, doubles, triples. Unicycle, bicycle, tricycle. Japan is a "we culture" unlike the "me culture" in the West. They're taught from a young age to think about what is best for the group. Because of Japan's group think, they aren't very good innovators. "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down" is a popular expression in Japan for a reason. It's not unusual for an independent artist or engineer to leave the stifling nature of Japan to live overseas and return when they achieve recognition; then they will gain approval in Japan. Few people will take a risk because if they fail, it would bring shame upon that person. Silicon-Valley thinking is nothing ventured, nothing gained and learning by failure. It's notable that Japan has never developed an OS that became a standard outside of Japan. Lived in Tokyo for 7 years and married to a Japanese national for 29 years.

What happens to unsuccessful companies (maybe EPSON, AKAI thinking of computers, electronics etc.)? Do their managers go harakiri after a bankruptcy, or does the government bail them out and pardon them? Or - if time isn't worth anything (what about the accuracy of the speed trains?) - they simply hibernate and wait for a comeback?

Re. Gov't: Joe Justice misses a crucial point about Government. I get his point about the importance of pace of innovation and optimizing for time spent. That's a significant observation, for business. NOT for government! Government in Japan is central in a way it isn't in other countries. It's central everywhere: it provides the operating environment within which society, industry & individuals all operate. But in Japan it's culturally central to a greater extent. So yeah: you can't change society & society's understanding of the importance of time without getting government on-board first. Japanese time sense isn't actually dictated by government: it's built into the culture. And government then reinforces that. Western political philosophy has reached a different understanding of government imperatives. Government in the West is necessarily process-driven, slower & subject to significant checks. It necessarily favours tradition & stability & defaults towards established norms & rules, many of them unwritten. Perhaps this is an outgrowth - in Commonwealth countries - of the development & centrality of British Common Law. Parliamentary governments are inherently stable in a way they shouldn't be - they aren't engineered for it - as opposed to French-style (or these days, US-styled) republics, which absolutely ARE engineered to death for stability, yet achieve comparatively less stability as a result. Proof is in the pudding: the US republic is tending ever more towards dictatorship & flirting in the past two decades with fascism. Republics in Europe (Hungary, Poland) are further down that hole. And even 'stable' & safe republics like France have had multiple Constitutions, "republics" & constitutional crises. Italy has had almost as many governments as there are years since WW2. What's missing? Traditions & cultural norms of political behaviour that underlie British parliament, that limit the behaviour of ruling PMs and parties, are crucial to the stability of government. Which is important, because while there are multiple ways in which a PM can be removed (by Cabinet, by his Party, by Parliament, even by the monarch or Governor-General), so long as the PM enjoys & retains the support of all those players, they have near-dictatorial powers. In practice, they don't exercise those powers, or they'd be removed. Most central to operation of government is the cultural norms & traditions of government bureaucracy, some of which apply to elected representatives too. In particular, honesty. Government MUST be honest, and must be seen to be honest, or it loses the faith & support of the electorate. Hence the popular predilection for following media reports of government malfeasance or transgressive behaviour of any sort in elected reps and non-elected members of the bureaucracy. The public understands that while elected reps & parties may change, the bureaucracy should be non-partisan, a professional & honest technocratic body that enacts government policy as directed, and does so with ABSOLUTE integrity. Government must be honest, and must be seen to be honest. That means efficiency IS NOT & SHOULD NOT BE the ultimate value driving operations. I'm sure as a Planning Dept. manager you could get a road paved fast by simply tendering the job to your brother-in-law, who builds roads. Fine. But we all pay taxes: anyone who builds roads competently should be able to bid for the job, and we all as taxpayers have a vested interest in seeing the job awarded to the lowest-cost competent bidder. It'll tie up several staff part-time for a period of months to run such a tender process. Is that efficient? HELL NO. BUT: it's honest, and ensures the process is honest & demonstrably so (as results must be published). In civilized countries governments set limits on fundraising ability of political candidates & parties to ensure they aren't 'bought'. The US, of course, doesn't. The US has the very best politicians & governance that money can buy. And it does. Elon Musk completely misunderstands government, because he doesn't understand this. He insists "Government is industry in the limit." As an engineer he assumes government is just another organization designed to get stuff done, and as such, it does so poorly, and needs optimizing. Musk is an idiot about this. Government is NOT just another organization: it sets the rules for all the rest, taxes everyone & everything (for a purpose) and uses that money to address many different social ends. Not least of which is ensuring infrastructure supports efficient and effective operation of every other organization in the country. It cannot do that fairly and equitably on behalf of the public to which it is responsible if it is not honest and demonstrably honest. Hence it is, and must be, process-driven and favour established practice.* * Consider: if you want to renew your driver's license, you go to the licensing bureau office, a bricks-&-mortar retail location in Ontario (& probably still so near you). If someone at the government decides there's a more efficient mechanism to renew licenses - on-line application only, for instance - they can't just close the retail locations & switch overnight. That'd be efficient. But as a member of the public I have a right to expect government won't just change practices overnight without informing the public. That takes time & a process. Frustrating if you're a "get it done" engineer. Necessary nonetheless. Deal with it.

Our internet information sources (Google, Wikipedia, ChatGPT, etc.) are unfortunately, and likely unintentionally, biased towards Western perspectives and cultures. This results in inaccuracies in demographic, historical, socioeconomic, and geopolitical information provided. This is one of the reasons Australia may show up as safer than Japan, Sweden may show up as happier than Bhutan, Europe may show up as more diverse and with more recorded history than China, India, and Africa, and the people of Finland may show up as more self sufficient and resourceful than the Yanomami or Anangu.

Japanese culture has alot of redundancies and its super easy to misunderstand. Esp among japanese. Just take the writing system for example. Romaji, Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji. Single/Double width. Hence alot of checks are introduced. No matter how beautiful the procedures are crafted. Too many steps is really a mental space waster and motivation killer.
