I sometimes conduct interviews with experts for my column.
From the offer to the interview, it took a total of about three hours.
The same thing can take more than six months if it involves an organization (such as a company).
The reason for this is that there are a lot of departments that want to check for "anti-corporate," "bankruptcy risk," and "profit sharing.
It is inevitable that an organization will work with a 'worst case scenario' in mind.
However, I am afraid that
"We can't win"
Especially in the digital service business, I think this "slowness" is fatal.
So many people complain about these internal procedures, but I've never heard of anyone solving them. I remember that I have "fought" against it for a long time, but I don't remember that I have "won" against it.
The only person who can change the company is the president, and unless you become the president, the company organization will not change, and even if you become the president, you may not be able to change it (because there is a huge resistance within the company).
So, well, in conclusion -- I gave up on the 'effort to change the company'.

You can do it privately.
If you don't bring up the company's name and act as a completely private person, you won't be bothering anyone.
In the first place, a company would fire a person who caused a problem at the company and then claim that he or she is not an employee of the company.

The reason I am able to release a column every month is because of my light-footedness, with saying "In the end, I am the only one who can take responsibility"
No one should have any say in the program code or columns I write over the weekend, and it's up to me to offer interviews to whomever I want.
Nowadays, you can get pretty much everything you need in terms of IT environment within your own pocket.
The cloud, edge computers, and, these days, 3D printers are inexpensive and readily available.
It is so easy to get map information from all over the world on the Internet that you can create your own GIS.
In general, my own room at home is better equipped with excellent research facilities.

It's hard to do what you want to do within the organization of a company, but once you leave the organization of a company, you can do what you want to do quickly and easily.
I think we are all too tied (or brainwashed) by our organizations.
There are many exit strategies that show your results outside of the organization.
Volunteers, NPOs, technical comikets, and even academic societies can participate individually (you can even create a group with one member).
I think it is mentally easier to do things outside the company that are unrelated to the company's business rather than getting frustrated with company procedures that are not being processed.

These days, it seems that even the equipment for genetic research can be provided by individuals.
It might be possible to create a vaccine for individuals and use themselves to test the effectiveness of the vaccine.
By the way, I did some research (Law Concerning the Quality, Efficacy and Safety of Drugs, Medical Devices, etc.) and found that the target parties are "those who manufacture, sell, lend or repair drugs, etc. as a business, and others".
I don't think this law applies to drug production and human experimentation by individual researchers without profit motive, as mentioned above.
