[Lecture Highlights]
- Once again, regardless of industry, we will deliver an abundance of business information gathering and utilization know-how based on a 'future foresight perspective' that leads to the expansion of existing domains and the development of new businesses and new applications.
- What we will deliver is business information gathering and utilization know-how that leverages 'human wisdom', which is exactly what you need to know at the start of fiscal 2026, the era of physical AI.
- Even so, the rapid evolution of generative AI is remarkable. Its influence in the business scene is increasing so dramatically that there is not a day without topics on advanced tools like Chat GPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and NotebookLM. We assume you are also utilizing them in various scenes.
- In this seminar, we will explain in detail the 'human wisdom' that should be grasped precisely because it is the AI era, and the perspective for capturing the future business environment, namely the 'future foresight perspective'. To think about the future, it is necessary to successfully utilize the information and experiences in your own head.
- Looking back at fiscal 2025, it was another energetic year of initiatives by various companies eyeing cross-industry collaboration and ambitious entry into new businesses.
On the day of the seminar, we will introduce notable domestic and international case studies that you should know precisely because it is the beginning of fiscal 2026. However, while many companies are expanding and protecting their existing businesses, they are desperately advancing new initiatives from a backcasting perspective, keeping an eye on the business environment about 10 years ahead. Through my support work for various companies, I have witnessed such scenes firsthand.
- I wonder if I am the only one who thinks that precisely because it is the era of generative AI, how to nurture the 'information preserve' in one's head will be the key determining success or failure in fierce competition.
- When gaining insight into the future through backcasting, what will become even more important in the future is the power of 'combination' - the ability to conceive new business developments by fully borrowing the power of AI and combining it with your own knowledge. It is my belief that an era is coming where the importance of uniquely human ideas will increase further, precisely because it is the AI era.
- The concept of how to read and understand 'changes in future industries' and 'changes in future customers' (both BtoC and BtoB, of course) through 'information', which we will deliver in this seminar, will surely be of great help to your company's future business development.
