Embracing Change: Redefining Management in the AI Era

As AI integration into business workflows accelerates, company leaders are increasingly faced with the question of how managerial roles should evolve. The Japan Management Association Management Center (JMAM) is hosting a free online seminar on July 29, 2026, to address this pressing issue. The seminar, titled, "Redefining Management Roles in the Age of AI: Insights from Data on Future Managers' Responsibilities and Actions,” aims to provide valuable insights rooted in JMAM's recent research data.

Understanding the Shift in Roles

With the rise of generative AI, businesses are beginning to recognize that the tasks expected of management personnel may be undergoing significant changes. As AI becomes capable of assisting in information gathering, analysis, and initial advice provision, the interpersonal aspects of management are gaining renewed importance. Today's managers will need to cultivate a sense of understanding and support personal growth among their team members while also providing clear direction and vision for their organizations.

The seminar will dive deep into the characteristics and challenges faced by modern managers. Notably, JMAM will spotlight a concept termed "Positive Managers"—individuals who face these challenges head-on and embody proactive approaches to management. Participants will learn about these managers' traits and how they can adapt their actions and behaviors to thrive in this new landscape.
