This kind of excellence is reflected in many aspects, such as the plot setting, such as the challenge to the routines of the 007 series of sweet cars.
(Of course I like Zurich and Paris)
However, what this article is going to discuss is another perspective, which is the large tissue disease reflected in the film.
1. What is a large organization?
As the name implies, this organization requires a large number of people, a complex composition, multiple organizational levels, and some are geographically dispersed.
The organization to which the male protagonist belongs is the famous CIA, which is the US Central Intelligence Agency. It fits all the characteristics of a large organization. Look at Baidu. The CIA is one of the three major intelligence agencies in the United States. Its main task is to openly and secretly collect and analyze information on foreign governments, companies, terrorist organizations, individuals, politics, culture, and technology, and coordinate other domestic intelligence. The activities of intelligence agencies and report these intelligence to the work of various departments of the US government. The CIA is divided into four main components: Intelligence Division, Management Division, Operations Division, and Science and Technology Division. The organization, personnel, funding, and activities of the agency are strictly confidential, and even Congress cannot intervene.
There are about 25,000 people in this organization, but the number is not very large. But because of its particularity, the disadvantages of large tissue diseases are magnified here.
(In the film’s close-up of the CIA headquarters, I did not forget to choose a winter night, which made people feel gloomy and cold, and laid a good foundation for the plot.)
Second, who is in the big organization?
Going back to the film, for a large organization like the CIA, there are several types of people involved in the film.
1) Grassroots employees, including field staff, civilian staff, etc.
Field staff, which we often call the front line, are scattered in various countries, including the following:
(At first glance, they are all ruthless characters, look at their fierce and murderous gazes)
Of course, the best of them is the male protagonist in the film, and he has almost subverted the entire organization by his own power.
(On the contrary, it seems that humans and animals are harmless.)
Civilians are responsible for providing support services for supervisors at all levels, as well as for field personnel. The work place is the headquarters and the regional headquarters.
2) The middle-level and basic-level supervisors,
such as this dear man, have suffered for eight lifetimes and become the direct supervisor of the male lead.
This man is no longer good at going out. Look at his awkward posture while holding the gun.
But they eat more salt than the grass-roots soldiers eat, so they have more experience and are well versed in the art of uploading and distributing orders.
3) Executives, senior managers and decision makers of large organizations.
The big boss in the film is this. Basically, it may only take 10 minutes to understand and think about a project with a billion-dollar decision. But otherwise? He may be in charge of tens of billions of projects, this kind of small projects of less than one billion, there is no time to manage.
This one is the staff of the big BOSS, who has the right to speak in the big BOSS.
This is the leader of the male lead business.
And this pile, don't look at everyone here with a dull expression. But they are all in charge of their own stalls, and everyone can stand alone and keep their promises.
How does the big organization get sick?
After the character introduction, you can finally enter the topic. In my opinion, a large organization disease is the high cost of information transmission and easy to get out of control.
High cost mainly refers to the high cost and low efficiency of information transmission. Basically, information transmission in large organizations is mainly through meetings and reports.
The function of a meeting is to transfer information from top to bottom, or to transfer information horizontally, such as wrangling between departments.
Reporting is mainly used for the upward transmission of information and serves as the basis for high-level decision-making.
There are several details in the film that highlight the shortcomings of large tissue diseases.
Fragment 1: Executives fool the director
The target of the assassination was a certain African politician in exile. He exposed the assassination in the media and used this to coerce the CIA to support him in power within six months. The director was very angry when he heard this, and asked his staff if they knew about it. The staff was also very wronged. How can I manage so many messy things? In such a short time, I couldn’t ask them one by one. I had to bite the bullet and say, I don’t have such a reckless person, but it is actually his subordinates. I did it under my hands. He has no time or energy to understand what each department is doing.
Fragment 2: The big leader finds the small leader to confirm
The white-haired leader learned about this during a meeting, and suddenly remembered that it seemed to have something to do with his department, because the black-haired leader had mentioned it. After the meeting, I ran to confirm. I didn't expect it to be true, so I was angry and said that this happened 2 weeks ago. You don't ask for instructions in advance and don't report afterwards. Do you still put my supervisor in the eyes? The little leader was also wronged, saying that you are always so busy and have never been interested in knowing these shit. The leader became even more angry, saying that it was because your kid had never fumbled before.
Fragment 3: The project team is closed, and the text is overwhelming
At the end of the film, the white-haired leader personally went to Washington to report that such a large project team was cancelled and it was only a few minutes' report. The words reported were all specious, vague and obscure: "The Stepping Stone Action Project has actually been terminated. I originally wanted to design it into an advanced action plan, hoping to turn it into an excellent training platform, to be honest. , For a purely theoretical training, the cost was too high. The project has since been cancelled.".
No one really understands, and no one really cares. At this time, it may be more important to get off work on time to have a delicious dinner.
4. What is the cause of large tissue disease?
So why do we need so many meetings and reports? This involves the root cause of large tissue disease.
The root cause of large tissue disease is that the evolution of the human brain cannot keep up with the evolution of society, and the changes in organization cannot keep up with the explosion of information and the rapid changes in the situation. Therefore, it is necessary to simplify the information flow to manage and adapt.
It's impossible for a big boss to call every field office to chat again, and energy and time are not allowed. Can only listen to reports from middle-level supervisors. The middle-level supervisor listens to the basic-level supervisor, and so on.
The information distortion in the reporting process cannot be avoided. Sometimes it is because of the problem of delivery skills, sometimes because of the problem of understanding and expression, and sometimes it is deliberately covered up. For example, at the beginning of the film, the senior staff told the big boss that the assassination of African exiles was not done by the department, but he was actually wrong. But after this has been said, the next step is to find a way to cover up and solve it.
Of course, the so-called "no coincidence is not a book", the plot of the movie will be even more exaggerated. The hero's behavior is tantamount to a black swan incident. Neither defected nor killed, but suddenly didn't want to do it, and suddenly lost his memory. And he was extremely capable, and killed everyone who came to kill him. The probability of this kind of thing is extremely small. Otherwise, most of them will be firmly controlled by the organization. So from this point of view, the CIA is still a good large organization.
5. Is there a cure for large tissue disease?
It is said that the routine of the Putian system is: You are sick, I have medicine, medicine is very expensive, but it can be cured. But in the opinion of the blogger, the Putian department has to stop cooking when encountering a major tissue disease. At this stage, the large tissue disease is almost unsolvable. The higher the front-line autonomy, the higher the efficiency and the greater the risk. vice versa.
Of course, there are still many organizations trying to solve large-scale organizational diseases. For example, IBM, which tried to make elephants dance, not only temporarily brought it back to life, but also widely peddled this methodology to the industry and made a lot of money from it. But the real effect is hard to say.
