Updating the 'Future' of Organizations: Manager Strategy Meeting 'Qast Academy' Launches Thursday, April 23, 2026

any Inc. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Kazufumi Yoshida, hereinafter: any) will start hosting 'Qast Academy', a place to face the organization, from Thursday, April 23, 2026.

- What is 'Qast Academy'? 'Qast Academy' is a strategy meeting place for managers to update the 'future' of their organizations, hosted by any, which has been providing the AI knowledge platform 'Qast' since 2018. Managers are currently in a situation where they are required to have highly advanced management skills compared to the past due to the intensification and complexity of various markets. Given these circumstances and environments, any believed there was a need for a place where managers could share their worries and knowledge with each other.

We will hold monthly events where managers can converse with such 'comrades' and foster hints for shaping better organizations, occasionally interweaving dialogues with invited leaders from pioneering companies running at the forefront of organizational transformation and experts studying organizational change.

- Statement An era where the nature of management has become more complex than ever before.

While facing questions with no right answers, we grope for ways to advance our own organization even a single step forward.

That strong will and ability to act are the very starting points of organizational transformation. We believe this.

To bring that will to fruition as reliable 'transformation'. What is needed now is a 'strategy' that turns thoughts into concrete execution power.

Beyond the framework of solitary thinking, pooling wisdom with like-minded comrades. Through that dialogue, refining the next move and turning it into conviction.

The place to implement ideals into reality is here.

Beyond mere information sharing, to 'dialogue' that moves the organization. Making the intellectual chemical reactions born in this strategy meeting the driving force of transformation.

Come, let's update the 'future' of the organization together from here.
