Building Resilient Organizations in an Era of Change

In an age defined by rapid technological advancements, it is increasingly evident that a company's core strength lies in its people. On June 12, 2025, Imajina Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, hosted an insightful seminar titled "Understanding the Essence of Workforce Development and Organizational Strategy" at Marunouchi, Tokyo. The event attracted a diverse audience, including business leaders, HR executives, and management personnel, all eager to navigate the complexities of modern organizational dynamics.

The session was infused with energy as the participants engaged with critical insights drawn from the fields of management, psychology, and neuroscience. The seminar revolved around two pivotal themes: the importance of workforce development and the penetration of corporate philosophy into daily operations. Throughout the seminar, tangible strategies for creating sustainable organizations were introduced, leaving attendees inspired and thoughtful.

The Strategic Focus on Workforce Development

At the outset of the seminar, CEO Yoshikazu Sekino posed a thought-provoking question:
"In a future where AI can substitute for virtually all tasks, what unique value can humans offer?"
This question set the stage for the key messages shared during the session:

• - Philosophies as Structures, Not Just Emotions: The seminar emphasized that the failure to convey a company's philosophy isn't merely about poor communication but rather the absence of a structural framework that enables understanding. Imajina illustrated actionable strategies using case studies, demonstrating how companies can embed their philosophies into daily behavior and institutional policies.

• - Redefining Management Roles: Many companies currently face stagnation in their middle management tiers. The seminar underscored the necessity of redefining managerial roles from traditional controllers to catalysts for growth. Essential insights were shared on how managers can transform into modern professional leaders who inspire and drive their teams forward.

• - Embedding Philosophy in Organizational Practices: The session traced how deeply ingrained philosophies serve as a foundation for recruitment, retention, development, and performance improvement. Attendees resonated with discussions about confronting the underlying issues surrounding a lack of understanding or misinterpretation of corporate philosophies that plague many organizations.

• - "This was a turning point to rethink managerial training seriously."
