/ The Blank Collar / Operating Code
How a blankcollar works.
Beliefs explain why. The Operating Code is how: six working principles of a blank collar, day to day. Each one is a decision you can make this week.
P.01
Direct, don't do
Your job is to decide what good looks like, and let the machine reach it.
P.02
Automate the process, protect the craft
Give the machine everything that repeats. Keep the part only you can do, and keep it close.
P.03
Vision before data
Data fuels the engine, and vision decides where it points.
P.04
Strong HX, or nothing ships
The interface between human and machine decides whether anything ships.
P.05
Use AI to do something new
The same thing cheaper is a discount. The prize is the thing you could not do before.
P.06
Share what you learn
The next era of work is too important to be the property of any one company.
