▼Overview

For this webinar, we invite Mr. Shuhiko Sugitani, a professional in "management from an external perspective" who has successfully completed numerous M&A deals in the investment banking division, and currently serves as the Head of the Next Generation Business Development Promotion Department at Ebara Corporation. Leveraging his extensive experience in new business creation, he also works as a mental coach. Mr. Sugitani will unravel practical thinking algorithms essential for advancing new businesses, focusing on the indispensable non-cognitive skills needed to overcome "walls that cannot be overcome by strategy and theory alone."

▼Background of the Event

Astamuse has, until now, supported the creation of new businesses exceeding 10 billion yen in sales from the perspective of "information visualization," using the world's largest innovation database and proprietary algorithms.

However, in the highly uncertain field of new business creation, which aims to create an "uncertain future" with no single correct answer, it is not uncommon for projects to falter, no matter how precise the strategy or promising the data. Many of these obstacles are internal issues related to the "people" involved, such as friction in internal consensus building, exhaustion from repeated pivots, and indecision in decision-making.

In this webinar, Mr. Shuhiko Sugitani, who has experience on the front lines of new business, M&A, and organizational transformation in both financial and operating companies, will speak. He will focus on the indispensable non-cognitive skills needed to overcome "walls that cannot be overcome by strategy and theory alone," which are common in new business development, and unravel practical thinking algorithms for advancing new businesses.

We will focus on "non-cognitive skills (mental abilities difficult to quantify)," which differ from IQ and specialized knowledge (cognitive abilities). We will thoroughly explain the "thinking algorithms" for pioneering an uncertain future.

▼Keywords for this webinar: What are "non-cognitive skills"?

In contrast to "quantifiable abilities (cognitive abilities)" such as IQ (intelligence quotient), test scores, and specialized knowledge, this is a general term for abilities related to an individual's inner self and mindset, such as grit, resilience, self-efficacy, and empathy for others.

In uncertain new business development, it is currently attracting global attention as the source of the "ability to make decisions in uncertain situations and drive business forward while involving others."
