Exploring Organizational Transformation Through Collaboration

Fujitsu, a renowned technology company, has joined forces with OtoBank for an engaging reading event titled "How to Create an Adventurous Organization." Scheduled for November 10, 2025, at the Fujitsu Uvance Innovation Studio, this event seeks to address the pressing issues organizations face in today's rapidly changing environment.

In the current landscape, marked by the remarkable evolution of AI and diverse work styles, many organizations are grappling with feelings of stagnation and frustration. Employees often voice concerns such as "the team atmosphere feels heavy," and "meetings have become mere confirmation exercises." These sentiments are reflections of a larger crisis, where traditional management styles hinder creativity and self-initiative, leading to a lack of vitality in teams.

In response to these challenges, an increasing number of companies are looking to foster a more dynamic and engaging workplace. A key figure gaining attention for this cause is Yukiki Anzai, who has supported over 350 companies in their transformational journeys. He advocates for an innovative approach known as the "Adventurous Organization," which serves as a guiding principle for organizations seeking to remain creatively resilient in uncertain times. This philosophy has resonated strongly with many leaders looking for solutions in the face of complexity and ambiguity.

The upcoming event will delve into Anzai's latest book, "How to Create an Adventurous Organization: Five Ways to Break Free from a Military Mindset," published by Teoria. Participants will engage in dialogue and exploration, seeking to collectively envision the future of their organizations.

Departing from the traditional reading group format, this event will employ the "Read for Action" methodology, allowing attendees to join in without prior reading. Instead, the session will include a brief reading segment followed by group discussions that enhance learning and collaboration. This approach makes it accessible for everyone, encouraging participation from diverse backgrounds.
