[Instructor] Shintaro Fukasawa, President of BM Consulting Co., Ltd. Business Mathematics Educator [Key Lecture Content] There are things we somewhat think about. However, when asked for our opinions, we hesitate to speak up because we dread being questioned with "What is your basis?" This is a growing issue among business professionals. Shintaro Fukasawa, the only advocate of business mathematics in Japan and a business mathematics educator, identifies the inability of modern business people to articulate their thoughts and ideas as a "symptom." He finds commonalities between mathematical thinking and verbalization, and has developed a verbalization framework that anyone can easily practice. This content has been compiled into a book titled "How Can an Idea Become 'My Opinion'? - A Class to Turn Intuition into Logical Opinions" (2023). In this session, we will extract the essence of that book and explain how to create "logical and communicative opinions." You will take home tips that will dramatically change your business communication starting tomorrow.
