Program Details

1)Deep Insight and Learning

Deep Insight and Learning, which is fundamental, encourages participants to establish their own axes by thinking from a broad viewpoint beyond the values of their organizations and by expressing themselves in their own words. These lectures launch discussions that, while stemming from to today’s central issues and the main issues surrounding them, as well as issues within those main issues, also go beyond the vertical confines of specific fields.

Agenda Shaping: Deep Insight and Learning

2)Management Knowledge
