NTT West's IWON (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) initiative

 Introduction NTT West's IWON (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) initiative is an effort to build a next-generation information and communications infrastructure, and aims to go beyond the limits of conventional infrastructure by utilizing innovative technologies, particularly optical technology. This initiative aims to solve problems in the local community and create new business value, and promotes the creation of use cases that utilize NTT West's strengths and early commercialization. In NTT West's IWON initiative, what is particularly noteworthy from the perspective of the impact system is the realization of "quick decision-making." The effects and challenges are described below. ●Effects of real-time data sharing using optical technology In the IWON initiative, optical technology is used to dramatically improve data transmission speed. This allows each amoeba (department) to share management information in real time, enabling quick decision-making. For

Points to note when adopting and implementing innovative proposals in MBA operations management

Introduction MBA operations management plays an important role in business success. Among them, I think that "strengthening staff functions in functional and divisional organizations" is a particularly noteworthy proposal. This proposal has the potential to improve the efficiency and productivity of the organization. Reasons This proposal allows each department in the organization to function more effectively. Strengthening staff functions provides each department with the resources and support to achieve their own goals. This improves the performance of the organization as a whole.

The concepts of "competency trap" and "internalization"

In this article, I will consider the concepts of "competency trap" and "internalization" from the perspective of my current job in network engineering. These concepts play an important role in network engineers' daily work. "Competency trap" is a phenomenon in which companies become stuck in their existing core business and past successes and are unable to see new possibilities. From the perspective of network engineering, this competency trap is particularly important. Network engineers need to constantly learn new technologies, protocols, and tools and adapt them to the existing network environment. However, sticking to past successes and existing network designs can lead to neglecting the exploration of new technologies, which can ultimately limit the possibilities for innovation. On the other hand, "internalization" refers to accepting the values ​​and norms of a society as one's own values ​​and norms. When a network engineer "i
