[For HR & Education Managers] Breaking Down the Wall of 'Not My Problem, Indifference' in Teams: Practical Approaches to Fostering a Culture of Mutual Aid and Cooperation Seminar on April 28th

TAC Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Toshio Tada), which operates educational businesses such as exam preparation for numerous national qualifications and certification exams including certified public accountants and tax accountants, will hold a seminar titled "Breaking Down the Wall of 'Not My Problem, Indifference' in Teams: Practical Approaches to Fostering a Culture of Mutual Aid and Cooperation" on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, from its corporate human resource education division.

"Even though we're on the same team, why can't we cooperate due to sectionalism...?"

Amidst the daily rush of work, members become indifferent to the challenges of others. Even when in trouble, it's hard to say, "Help me," "Please teach me," or "Please lend a hand." As a result, knowledge and experience are not shared within the team, and organizational growth stalls due to individual optimization.

Such situations occur beneath the surface and are, in fact, challenges faced by many organizations.

Furthermore, in the coming era of advancing AI utilization, human connections and serendipitous insights will become crucial elements for creating a company's competitive advantage.

In this seminar, Mr. Nobuo Yoneyama, an instructor deeply knowledgeable in human resource development and organizational development, will explain practical methods actually used in the field to address these challenges.

The instructor is a practitioner who has supported team relationship transformation in corporate training and organizational development settings, focusing on "dialogue," "facilitation," and "collaboration." A key feature is that participants can learn approaches that function in real-world settings, not just theories. We will concisely convey the key points for "relationships where it's easy to consult and easy to advise."

■ Program

1. Problem Statement

• If individuals are busy with their own work, indifferent to other team members' work, and lack sharing of knowledge, information, and networks, wouldn't the team's growth be largely constrained by the team leader's understanding and judgment?

• If the company culture or workplace environment makes it difficult for members to ask for help, wouldn't it lead to missed opportunities and decreased productivity?

• As individual reliance on AI grows, wouldn't the network externalities and serendipitous emergence of human connections become opportunities for company differentiation?

2. Why the wall of 'not my problem, indifference' arises within teams
3. What kind of environment is needed to create a culture of mutual aid in teams – Examples from the US
4. Facilitation-focused collaborative leadership that promotes individual growth and incorporates organizational growth through teamwork

5. Workshop Examples
6. Review and Summary
