Pay attention to details, walk the road to sustainable development
- "Detail decision success or failure" reading after reading
Zhu Jun February 20, 2004
"Don't be greedy, do not count," After reading the book "Detail Decision success or failure", the author feels more, the author is rough, the example is biased, not to bear, but "said words are not rough", like the author said "said that he said that his mistakes, no words Saying fake, "After a" sincere "communication with the author, I have learned the importance of details and firmly firmly pay attention to the concept of detail. The ancients cloud "facts better than the eloquent", "Detail Decision success or failure" book, detailed example, have an ancient Laozi's metaphor, there is this three strains of this time, there is a Chinese version of Shanghai Metro No. 2 The gap between the line and the Germans design of the Shanghai Metro Line 1, etc.
Now I have a habit when I study or study, try to study some of the links in the information about school informationization, in the self-study undergraduate "Introduction to Business Process and Management", "Information Resource Management", etc. This is also true when studying the "Detail Decision success or failure". There are not many cases in the success or failure of the "Detail Determination Service" book, almost no, even when telling the successful experience of Wal-Mart, the authors describe the "hardware" construction of Wal-Mart's information system, originally wanted to verify These "hardware" can assist in achieving the success of "details", but I think the details are not determined by "hardware", but is determined by "how to use these hardware". There is no analysis of this role, this example is also white. . I think this may be related to the author's business, the author is unfamiliar with the marketing of the market, naturally, in the field of information construction. However, now, in the information age, a successful enterprise (or school) has left the information system, which is not possible. I am a school, there is no in-depth understanding of the situation in the enterprise, it is not good, but also to deal with the computer, so I want to talk about how to develop a computer-based information system to talk about my own ideas, and is also subject to the details decision. The inspiration of success or failure, in fact, the basic idea is only four words "pay attention to details".
What is the "computer-based information system", I don't want to let everyone look at its complexity here. In information system development, there are two famous laws, one is the law of Murph, and the other is the law of Caltuhan.
The content of Murphy Law is:
2 work is more complicated than imagination;
2 Take time is longer than expected;
2 The time required is more than the idea;
2 Where can I be able to go to that place?
The content of Calt Han's law is only one sentence: Murphy is an optimist.
This is the result of "complex" information system, if not "pay attention to detail", what will be the result? The harm is of course many aspects, many are not a fatal harm, just like "Shanghai Metro Line 2" relative to "1 line", there is no major accident, what is missing, is "details". Do not pay attention to details, even if it is not fatal, it is also serious. In the development of the information system, the details will affect the sustainable development of the system.
However, the two words "details" are not for the first time. Not to put from a small time, from the self-study of the university, in some courses, such as "management information system", "information system development", all penetrate the concept of "paying attention to details". Specifically, the business process developed by the information system is divided into five phases, plan, analyzes, design, implementation, and use according to life cycle law. Taking the planning stage as an example, it is divided into discovery issues, clear problems, set system objectives, identification system objectives, conduct feasibility research, and system research proposals, ratify, or veto research projects, and establish control mechanisms. Divide a large engineering into a small piece, the details are not only reflected in this place. When implementing, the process of each step is also recorded, forming a file. The content of the course is serious, but it is not easy to change from a small "bad habit". In the first semester of the 2004 school year, the computer upgraded Windows2000 such a project, I have more thoughtful, although there is no strict accordance with the steps developed by the system, it is not never left (this is not paying attention to details A lot of the link), planning, analysis, design, implementation, and stage, all are doing seriously, starting to brew, online and masters to discuss the characteristics of Windows2000 in the second semester of the 2003 school year, learn MCSE's Windows2000 With the course of the network, the Microsoft's operating system has a strong fault, but I don't dare to discuss the contents of the Double Branch Festival, and consider all possible problems. A semester brewing, considering gradually maturing, starting experiments in their own house in summer vacation, simulating school system operation, excluding failure, accumulating experience. At the first semester of the 04 school year, in a week, the system completed all debugging, success. But after success, I didn't feel a strong sense of accomplishment, just I felt very "lucky", no accident. I thought it was because I didn't have the ability to control it for this huge system, it was placed in it. Afterwards, I want to write some articles about the success of the system deployment, but a semester has passed, and I have no pen. Now write again, I am afraid I have already forgotten the mood of the time. At the end of the semester, "Detail Decision success or failure", combined with some of her experience, slowly understand: In the deployment of the system, there is no process to record things (even if the record is not recorded according to strict requirements). It is a serious mistake. People are often more responsible. At least I am in operation of the computer, although when I have a huge network system deployment project, I am very cautious, but I "thought" I learned. Experience, I will not forget, so I don't record it on the pen. However, it has proven that for some "fine branches", no one can keep it after a long time. In fact, after a semester, if you let me do it again, some uncertain experiences should be studied for the second study. This way to ensure the sustainable development of an information system is very difficult because the system's re-development is often based on the last basis. The success of a system cannot rely on individuals, but should be guaranteed by the perfect work procedures. These are hidden dangers.
The central government has a program "Lang Lee Review Finance", the host is a professor of Lang Xianping, which has many unique perspectives in China's enterprises, remember that "Chinese companies need innovation, need to be programmed The degree of programming is to go to the 'fine branches', this is the way out of enterprise development. "What is the programming, and the" personalization "we advocate now is the opposite! But what is the benefit of programming? Documentation, where is the competitive advantage of enterprises? The benefits of programming are what can be pursued, what is controlled, what to pursue, what? Details. What is the competition, a detail of competition. McDonald's chicken is not a big kitchen, why is it delicious? Because each step of it is planned, it is refined and can be controlled. "Detail decision success or failure" made me understand a lot of truths, some truths are also very easy to understand, some already know, just have not been done. "Pay attention to details" is not an empty talk, and it is not only a concept of being in the heart, or hanging on his mouth, it is to study hard, ponder. The details are to pay and work hard. It is necessary to implement it, it is necessary to do it. How to do? Documentation. The worse the finer. Of course, how to do well, you have to accumulate experience from practice. A person's nature is still very difficult, Jiangshan is easy to change, it is difficult to do. I really want to see the premier Zhou to see a tree, and see the forest like the forest, what is easy, put "pay attention to details" as a goal of life, from a simple method (programmed), slowly bring up. The details determine the success or failure, not everyone can succeed, maybe in life, the habits of the big leaves can not change, but work hard to learn to pay attention to details, even if they can't develop habits, there must be some progress.
In the new year, I just started, there is a goal of struggle, that is, you want:
Attention to detail!
What is the most important thing in the 21st century?
detail!
