Yesterday, we held the 3rd edition of the "Sushi Party Premium Consult Dinner" (Guest: Fujimoto Takuya) — offered as a crowdfunding return reward!!
The eagerness of every participant to make the most of this limited time and absorb as many insights as possible was evident throughout.
Once again, we had the exclusive use of "Sushi Teppen," owned by Oshima Keisuke, and the delicious food paired with the warm smiles of the staff was absolutely wonderful!
During the Q&A session, everyone listened intently to Fujimoto Takuya's advice — taking notes and hanging on every word so as not to miss a thing.
In the private open chat for participants, people were sharing summaries of their key takeaways — which was truly wonderful to see.
Once again, I believe everyone was able to spend a truly rich and invaluable time together. Beyond the premium consulting from Fujimoto-san and Yamazaki Takumi, it felt like a wonderful gathering where meaningful connections formed between participants as well.

The 5 Thinking Steps that Accelerate Growth What is "The Algorithm"
Tesla is known as "the world's most innovative company." Behind its explosive growth lies a"magic formula"shared by Elon Musk and former President Jon McNeill.
That formula is what we're introducing today:"The Algorithm."
This is no mere efficiency technique. It's the ultimate real-world framework that took revenue from $2 billion to $20 billion — a 10x leap in just two and a half years.
Why not bring these "5 steps" into your own business and daily tasks?
Iron Rule: Never change the "order" of these steps
The reason many companies fail is that they get the order wrong. Always execute from the top down.
STEP 1: Question Every Requirement
Start by asking: "Why is this necessary in the first place?"
Identify "who made this rule": "It's company policy" isn't good enough. Trace it back to the responsible individual and verify whether that requirement is still valid today.
Abandon common sense: "Because other companies do it" is not an acceptable reason at Tesla.
STEP 2: Delete the Process
After questioning the requirements, cut boldly.
"Subtraction" not "addition": Before adding new features or meetings, ask whether you can cut 50% of current steps.
Example: Instead of welding hundreds of parts together, Tesla used a giant casting machine to create parts as a single piece — eliminating the robots and processes that had occupied half the factory floor.
STEP 3: Simplify and Optimize
Once only "what's truly necessary" remains from Step 2, then and only then do you refine it.
Polish manually to the limit: Rather than building a complex system from the start, first find the most efficient form by hand.
STEP 4: Accelerate Cycle Time
Once you have a lean process, accelerate it all at once.
Speed with quality: When the process is simple, speed increases naturally without forcing it. Tesla has even developed a new vehicle in just 14 months — a process that normally takes 3 years.
STEP 5: Automate Last
This is the biggest point. Many people think about automation and AI adoption "first" — but that's a mistake.
"Don't pour concrete": If you automate an unfinished process, changes become difficult when improvements are later discovered. Introduce automation as the "final touch" — after stripping everything down and reaching maximum speed.
2 Tesla-Style Cultures That Support Success
The leader's attitude is critical to making this algorithm work.
Use your own product more than anyone else: Tesla executives drove freshly assembled cars every day and sent improvement notes to engineers the next morning. A leader who has lost touch with the front lines cannot make meaningful improvements.
Focus only on survival-level problems: Delegate peripheral work to your team, and pour all your energy into the 1–2 core issues where "failure means the company ends" — checking progress every week.
Summary: What will you "delete" from your work?
Tesla's explosive growth was never magic — it was the relentless accumulation of eliminating waste and destroying assumptions.
Before adding something with "I need to try harder," start with Step 1: "Is this really necessary?" Your business too might see a "10x" view through this algorithm.
