[Call for Participants] Do! Solutions Webinar: "Questions and Dialogue That Drive Innovation in Individuals and Organizations" - May 22

Dentsu Inc.'s business challenge-solving information portal, Do! Solutions, is recruiting participants for its webinar "The Power of 'Philosophy' to Awaken Japanese Companies!? Effective 'Questions' and 'Dialogue' for Individual and Organizational Innovation," to be held on Wednesday, May 22.

Japanese companies face the urgent need for "transformation" across various layers. Trendy methods, cutting-edge tools, unprecedented frameworks... While various means exist, whether innovation can be achieved ultimately depends on how individuals and teams (organizations), that is, "people," can free themselves from the constraints of their inherent "common sense" and unleash their potential. Amidst this, attention is turning to methods that revitalize individuals, teams, and organizations through thinking and dialogue cultivated by "philosophy," the crystallization of human wisdom.

This webinar features guest speaker Yosuke Horikoshi, a Specially Appointed Researcher at the University of Tokyo specializing in "philosophical dialogue"—a method of "formulating questions, thinking, and engaging in dialogue." He will introduce case studies of applying "philosophical dialogue" to business challenges and approaches for leveraging such initiatives toward integrated transformation.
