[Instructor] Shunsuke Suzuki, President and CEO, Management Techniques Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The modern business environment is changing at an unpredictable pace, and to achieve success, new approaches that go beyond traditional thinking are essential. "Normal" thinking and "conventional" solutions cannot differentiate you in a highly competitive market. True breakthroughs arise from stepping outside the box. Therefore, the ability to "discover hidden problems and create innovative ideas that others cannot think of" becomes crucial. So, how can we develop such abilities and apply them in the business field? Successful business leaders, skilled engineers, and entrepreneurs who have achieved results do not rely solely on logic; they employ creative thinking. This can be broadly categorized into four areas: associative thinking, abstract thinking, multifaceted thinking, and conceptual thinking. In this seminar, we will learn four creative thinking approaches that will be immediately applicable in business settings. Through these, let’s master the way of thinking that will keep you one step ahead in the business world.
