Overview of the Seminar

On December 11, 2025, Human Academy Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, will collaborate with KADOKAWA to host an online seminar focused on the crucial theme of "Marketing Talent Development". This seminar addresses the pressing needs of businesses today, particularly regarding the cultivation of marketing professionals equipped to execute strategic initiatives independently.

Keynote Speaker

The session will feature the esteemed Takahisa Nagai, a bestselling author known for the "MBA Essential Reading Series" and formerly the head of training at IBM Japan. Nagai's extensive experience and insights will guide participants from small to large enterprises, empowering them with knowledge and strategies to enhance their organizational customer focus.

Why This Seminar is Essential

With the growing emphasis on 'human capital management', the need for businesses to nurture strategic marketing professionals has become paramount. Many organizations struggle with traditional on-the-job training (OJT), which often fails to equip individuals with essential skills such as understanding customer needs and constructing robust marketing strategies. This is particularly evident in small to medium enterprises that face structural challenges, including a shortage of mentors and qualified personnel to dedicate time to training.

This seminar aims to tackle these urgent issues head-on. By combining educational expertise in marketing with KADOKAWA's rich content background, we aspire to equip attendees with the tools necessary to create effective marketing systems within their companies.

Seminar Structure

The seminar will cover practical approaches to developing a framework for cultivating employees as marketers, addressing the two primary issues many companies encounter: insufficient understanding of customers and a lack of strategic planning capabilities. Nagai will share methodologies based on MBA principles, designed to integrate both on-the-job and off-the-job training into a comprehensive growth plan.
