[Key Lecture Content]
Why is it that despite the evolution of technology and the expectation of a prosperous world, society is in chaos and instability? Why is the world so sharply divided? What will happen to the world in the future? How should Japan and the Japanese people navigate through an uncertain future?
To answer these pressing questions of modern individuals, future thinking that goes beyond mere forecasting is necessary. The former Chief of Staff and Executive Officer of SoftBank, which became the company with the highest market capitalization in Japan, will explain the five techniques of future thinking (history, signs, structure, probability, assumptions) from multifaceted perspectives including economics, technology, demographics, and geopolitics.
