Transforming Manufacturing Strategies: A Seminar Overview

In a rapidly changing world, the need for manufacturing industries to adapt is critical. On April 9, 2026, Enfactory, a leading company in technology solutions, is hosting a seminar that tackles the theme of transforming from traditional manufacturing to future-oriented strategies. The event is set to begin at 14:00 and will last for an insightful 90 minutes brought to you via a Zoom webinar.

The company, led by its CEO Kenta Kato, recognizes the dilemma many manufacturers face today: while understanding that future outlooks are essential, the day-to-day demands of existing business operations consume all available resources. This seminar aims to provide industry leaders with the tools to innovate and create a sustainable future strategy.

Keynote Speaker

The highlight of this event will be a special address by Professor Makoto Kawase from Ritsumeikan University Business School, an esteemed figure in business strategy literature, known for works like "New Business Development Startup Book." His expertise will guide participants on how to strategically forecast the future in an unpredictable environment and refine their survival strategies accordingly.

The Dilemma of Existing Operations vs. Future Planning

One significant challenge many manufacturers encounter is being too focused on maintaining existing operations ('right hand') that they neglect the necessary preparations for future growth ('left hand'). This seminar seeks to address these issues head-on, teaching attendees how to adjust their organization's culture and processes to facilitate innovation and future development.

In a bid to transform company mindsets from mere production ('monozukuri') to proactive future building ('mirai zukuri'), attendees will learn essential strategies to navigate this transformation. The seminar will also cover how to implement these strategies effectively while managing the rigid processes that often trap organizations.

Target Audience

This seminar caters to various professionals within the manufacturing sector:

• - Factory managers and heads of new business development
• - Individuals eager to backcast and frame a unique survival strategy based on societal changes
• - Those feeling overwhelmed by current operations yet needing to create plans for the future
• - Organizations seeking to revise rigid internal cultures and processes to foster a more agile company capable of innovation
