“With current management, will your company grow in 5 years?” Seminar on cultivating 'Executives and Managers' for Management and HR, to be held in Aichi on July 3rd

Shin Keiei Service (Headquarters: Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture; President: Katsuya Moritani) will hold a venue-based seminar titled "Cultivation Methods for 'Executives and Managers' for Management and HR Teams" on Friday, July 3, 2026, from 14:00 to 16:30 at AP Nagoya (Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture).

This seminar is designed for SME owners, executives, and HR heads, explaining methods to strengthen and cultivate personnel who will lead the company.

■ Background
In the VUCA world—a high-stakes, uncertain business environment—SMEs face existential challenges due to a shrinking population, economic contraction, and business model disruption by AI. Without changing conventional mindsets and organizational structures, survival is uncertain.

The question is: what must be done to ensure sustainable growth beyond short-term performance?

The answer lies in the principle that "a company is its people." Regardless of technological progress, people drive both creation and sales. Improving employee capacity is essential for corporate growth.

In this era of rapid change, the "ownership" and "competency" of core executives and managers are critical. This seminar features a veteran consultant with over 30 years of experience in SME consulting, explaining practical strategies for strengthening leadership.

■ Speaker
Lecturer: Hiroshi Shimizu (Executive Director, Shin Keiei Service)
Born in Kyoto in 1967, Mr. Shimizu has a 34-year career as a management consultant, supporting a wide range of companies from listed firms to SMEs. He frequently lectures nationwide and maintains an 85%+ repeat rate for consulting and training, earning strong trust from clients.
