The government is paralyzed by the fear of failure. But the private sector cannot learn without failing. That is why we need people to stand in between.

Today, I would like to take a quiet, yet deeply passionate look at a profound theme that could be called a truth of this universe (lol).

What kind of mixed martial arts battle is actually taking place behind the beautiful and shining slogan of "public-private partnership"? Let us observe its true form.

The thick armor called "infallibility" that forbids ever falling.

First, let us observe the ecology of the massive organization known as the "government" in the red corner of the ring. It is far too harsh to criticize them as "bureaucratic" or "avoiding trouble" just because they are slow to take action on new challenges. This is because what they are carrying is "tax money entrusted by the residents," which is the heaviest and most delicate substance in the world that requires careful handling.

The absolute rule for handling this hazardous material is "infallibility," which is the harsh decree that "you must never make a mistake." They always hold the scales of "fairness" and "equality" in their hands, and the safe rails known as "precedent" are laid at their feet. What would happen if they took a new step and fell spectacularly? They would be severely hung out to dry in the public coliseum known as the assembly, and receive criticism from all directions through the megaphone known as the media. They would be asked, "Why did you run when you knew there was a possibility of falling!"

Therefore, their choice to "tap on the stone bridge, smash it, and eventually decide not to cross" is an extremely correct survival strategy as an instinct for organizational defense. Shouting at them to "take risks and challenge aggressively!" is like making an unreasonable demand to a knight wearing thick, full-plate heavy armor to "show me a series of agile backflips!"

It is physically impossible. We must first deeply understand that they are existence types specialized in defense, with parameters maxed out on "never failing," and pay respect to their heavy responsibilities.

The naked sprint called "challenge" where you can only learn by falling and bleeding.

On the other hand, the ecology of the "private sector" standing in the blue corner of the ring operates on completely different principles than the red corner.

They live in a market economy that is like a jungle with no rules, survival of the fittest, and rapid change. In this harsh jungle, remaining in a safe place, or in other words, "standing still," means the "death" of the company.
