Kansai EXPO Wrap-Up

The inaugural Ideal Management EXPO, organized by Imajina, successfully wrapped up after three productive days at Intex Osaka. From November 19 to 21, nearly 900 business leaders and HR professionals engaged in meaningful exchanges, emphasizing the rising importance of internal branding and leadership development in the Kansai region.

Engaging Seminars

During the event, one of the standout seminars addressed the provocative theme: "Whose fault is it when employees lack motivation? Transforming into a proactive organization through new management theories." The final day saw an overwhelming turnout, with many attendees eager to participate.

The seminar built upon psychological and behavioral economic perspectives introduced on the first two days. Speakers highlighted that to truly unlock intrinsic motivation in subordinates, managers must evolve from being mere overseers to become inspirational leaders. The audience resonated with this notion, responding with applause as the debate concluded on the hopeful note that a change in management would lead to transformative outcomes for organizations.

A Market Hungry for Change

At Imajina's booth, representatives engaged in over 900 card exchanges, indicative of a widespread sentiment among organizations feeling the limitations of their current management approaches. This was particularly evident among traditional sectors in Kansai, such as manufacturing and services, where the demand for reform was palpable. Attendees recognized a crucial paradigm shift: investing in human resources is now essential for corporate sustainability, alongside technological advancements.

Ending 'Manager Lottery' Era

The response to Imajina’s insightful publication, “The Power of Management,” was overwhelmingly positive, leading to it quickly becoming scarce by the expo's conclusion. Participants began to acknowledge that building organizations around a core philosophy—internal branding—could significantly reduce turnover and enhance productivity.

Imajina is committed to leveraging the connections made during the Kansai EXPO to support the growth and branding value of local enterprises. The company will continue to empower businesses through training and consulting services, reinforcing the message that investing in people is crucial for future success.
