◆ About the New Book 'How to Enhance Productivity'

Japan's labor productivity has long ranked among the lowest among major nations, prompting many companies to prioritize 'productivity improvement.' However, most efforts remain superficial—focused on reducing overtime or cutting costs—leading to employee burnout. This book, authored by a former Keyence consultant, boldly asserts that 'productivity is not about cost reduction, but about maximizing added value.' It presents a new paradigm for productivity, overturning conventional approaches with principles such as 'labor costs are not expenses' and 'what should be reduced is not cost, but time.' The book reveals practical methods enabling everyone—from executives to part-time workers—to co-create productivity. It includes 51 actionable questions for immediate use in the workplace and emphasizes the irreplaceable human roles of empathy and co-creation in the AI era, making it a hands-on guide for every working professional.
