Speaker：

Prof. Tomoyoshi Noda (Shizenkan University)

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of advanced companies in Europe and the U.S., such as those in the Netherlands and France, that are advocating the concept of “Purpose Management”. Why is there now such a clamor for purpose management?

In this webinar, Professor Tomo Noda, founder of Shizenkan University, will explain the background behind the demand for corporations to adopt purpose management, including the stalemate of capitalism and the widening gap, the challenge of sustainability faced by corporations, and the rise of Generation Z. In addition, he will introduce case studies from around the world that demonstrate the benefits and hidden challenges of managing by Purpose, and what business leaders need to do to implement it.

We are living in a time of great societal change, facing more challenges than ever before, such as globalization, digitalization, sustainability, and widening disparities. Based on these social issues, we now need leaders who can envision the future on their own and drive change and creativity. We invite you to experience the Shizenkan program, which cultivates holistic management leaders who are not only leaders in their professions, but approach their work with humanity and social-mindedness.
