Each should have the name of the person who created the requirement, not just the generic \u201cLegal Department\u201d or \u201cHR Department\u201d, but the name of a real person who can be asked \u201cwhy?\u201d. If a requirement is truly a requirement and has valid purpose, then Musk commands that the requirement be made \u201cless dumb\u201d \u2014 made as simple and least complex as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"mw gv\">Delete Any Part or Process You Can<\/strong>: This ties back to the old process improvement adage that no part of a process should be improved if it can be completely eliminated instead. And eliminating also might mean they have to be added back later. But that\u2019s okay \u2014 according to Musk, if you don\u2019t end up adding back later 10% of what you eliminated, you didn\u2019t delete enough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"mw gv\">Simplify and Optimize<\/strong>: Do NOT start this step before steps 1 and 2 have been completed! It is never correct to simplify\/optimize a step or part if it should not exist at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"mw gv\">Accelerate Cycle Time<\/strong>: Any process can be sped up, but remember to do steps 1\u20133 before attempting to accelerate a process. A fast process that completes unneeded tasks gains nothing! Don\u2019t speed up tasks that should be deleted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"mw gv\">Automate<\/strong>: This is the fifth of five steps for a reason, it comes last by design. Don\u2019t attempt to automate until steps one through four are completed. And do an honest evaluation of whether or not automation is the truly best path to take. Do not automate for the sake of automation. Instead, automate only where it provides improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musk\u2019s Five Commandments Musk\u2019s five sequential commandments (aka \u201cThe Algorithm\u201d) include:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":151,"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150\/revisions\/151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/serisec.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
