Developing a Venture Mindset in Employees with Intensive Training in Just Three Days

In today's rapidly changing business landscape, fostering a venture mindset in employees has become crucial for organizations aiming to thrive despite uncertainty. Manadic Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has unveiled its new program, the 'Subordinate Capability Training', aimed at instilling this mindset in employees within an impressive timeframe of just three days.

Background of the Program

Over the years, Manadic has supported over 300 venture and growth-oriented companies. During this journey, they have identified significant structural challenges that hinder business growth, namely the burdensome task of management development, the loss of growth opportunities for young employees, and the overall decline in productivity as a company.

Young employees are eager to grow but often lack guidance on the 'venture way of fighting.' Meanwhile, managers are cautious about providing strict guidance due to the contemporary climate, yet they still wish for their teams to be effective. Companies also desire to improve productivity per employee but often lack the resources to nurture talent adequately. Recognizing this dilemma, Manadic initially launched a 'Venture-Specific Graduate Training' in December 2025, which received requests from various companies for broader implementation. This feedback led them to expand the focus to all employees and officially introduce the 'Subordinate Capability Training.'

What is the 'Subordinate Capability Training'?

The 'Subordinate Capability Training' is designed to help employees systematically acquire a set of mindsets and skills necessary for delivering results in uncertain and rapidly changing environments. These skills serve as a foundational operating system for specialized knowledge in marketing and management, aiming to remain universally applicable throughout an individual's career.

The program emphasizes nine core curriculums, focusing on practical execution rather than theoretical classroom learning. Participants will develop skills such as rapid execution of actions, taking initiative beyond assigned roles, and effective self-management. Ultimately, the training aims to achieve three transformative outcomes:

1. Complete Elimination of Blame Mentality: Participants will shift from seeking reasons for inaction to proactively engaging and taking initiative.
2. Substantial Reduction in Management Costs: The program fosters a culture where employees embark on tasks without waiting for instructions, establishing a proactive standard.
3. Normalization of Hard Work: A culture that values action and effort over mere smart strategies will be cultivated.

The program is available in two forms: customized training tailored to individual company needs and a joint training format for new graduates.

Key Features of the Program

1. Practical Know-How Based on Experience: The core of this program is derived from insights gathered from over 300 growth companies and the personal experiences of Manadic's COO, who has witnessed the growth of organizations from small teams to larger companies. This ensures that the training is rooted in real-world applications rather than abstract concepts.
2. Program Design Focused on Understanding Through Theory and Experience: To avoid misconceptions about it being merely a toughness training, the program highlights the rationale behind each required skill through real-life examples and various theories, ensuring participants deeply understand their importance. This psychological encouragement will promote more effective learning outcomes.
3. Design for Behavioral Change: The program incorporates mechanisms linking training to on-the-job training, facilitating measurable growth. Structuring follow-up training sessions after the initial program allows for reflection and further development, enhancing retention of learned skills.

Detailed Program Structure

The essential structure of the program is designed around 'reversed learning,' which incorporates practical application before the training sessions. The cycle consists of pre-learning, training, application period, and reflection training. By linking learned principles to real-world outcomes, participants will solidify their knowledge and experiences. The training can be customized to address individual company challenges, ensuring a realistic and applicable curriculum.

Customized Corporate Training
This format includes basic curriculums enhanced with company-specific case studies and exercises.

Venture-Specific Graduate Joint Training
This three-day program (plus a three-month application period) encourages a collective learning experience with peers from different companies, fostering motivation and the drive for behavioral change.
