[Instructor] Attorney Kurato Suzuki, Irokawa Law Office [Key Lecture Content] Due to the amendments to the Comprehensive Promotion Law for Labor Policies, starting from October 1, 2026, employers will be required to take necessary measures in employment management regarding customer harassment (Kasu Hara) and sexual harassment against job seekers (Job Hunting Sexual Harassment). In line with this, companies will need to prepare for practical implementation before the enforcement date, based on the guidelines published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This includes developing internal regulations, establishing consultation and response systems, raising awareness within the company, and determining judgment and response methods on-site. This seminar will organize the setting of job hunting rules related to job hunting sexual harassment, internal awareness, and key points for regulatory development. It will also explain the distinction between legitimate complaints and customer harassment, judgment, documentation, and response on-site, the establishment of a company-wide system, regulatory development considering dispute risks, and points that are easily overlooked. The Human Resources, Labor, Legal, and Compliance departments will systematically organize the response matters that need to be confirmed in preparation for the enforcement on October 1, 2026, from the perspectives of guideline compliance and on-site operations. [Lecture Items] 1. Job Hunting Sexual Harassment 2. Customer Harassment 3. Q&A

[Speaker] Mr. Satoru Shimizu, President and CEO of Okunote Inc. [Key Lecture Content] Generative AI is not a "magic wand," but a "mirror" that reflects the questions of the user. In this lecture, based on my book "The 'Super' Planning Techniques Practiced by Competition Disruptors: Seven Creative Steps to Lead Winning Strategies with the 'Art of Questioning'," I will explain how to overcome the challenges of proposals being rejected, not moving forward within the company, and not being executed on-site through interactions with AI. I will introduce the entire process of planning, linking it with AI utilization, from question design to hypothesis destruction, structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective, forming internal consensus, managing execution, and turning reflections into assets. In the latter part of the workshop (exclusive to on-site participants), you will actually formulate questions and refine your dialogue with AI, taking home usable "art of questioning" techniques for tomorrow. [Lecture Items] 1. Orientation: AI is a "mirror," not a "magic wand." 2. Enhancing the precision of planning through "question design" and "hypothesis destruction." 3. Structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective to create "acceptable" proposals. 4. Forming consensus that transcends internal barriers. 5. Mechanisms that prevent execution from stopping and turning experiences into assets through reflection. 6. Habitualizing AI as a "partner" and the roles humans will take on in the AI era.
