any Inc. at BEYOND FORUM 2026
On June 9-10, 2026, any Inc. will take the stage at the BEYOND FORUM 2026, a conference co-hosted by Sansan Inc. and NewsPicks. This event aims to delve into human capital management and individual development in the age of AI.
Conference Presentation
The conference will feature Ryuta Shimizu, Director of TeamWill & Culture at any Inc., along with Tadayoshi Nagamura, CEO of EVeM, and Akihiro Kato, CTO of Schoo. Their session, titled "Exploding the Value of 'Human' in the AI Era: Transforming Individual Growth into Organizational Assets," will address how organizations can convert individual development and learning into measurable outcomes.
Amidst the advent of AI, the essence of 'human' value is under scrutiny, with management discipline deemed crucial to linking individual growth to organizational results. The discussion will focus on how to avoid submerging personal talents within conventional frameworks, instead facilitating maximum potential and transitioning individual learning into a corporate asset.
Workshop Session
In addition to the main conference presentation, any Inc. will facilitate a workshop titled "Management Lab in the AI Agent Era: From Skills for Managers to Weapons for Everyone." This workshop will explore the collaborative future of human and AI interactions, proposing that effective management skills should not be confined to managers alone, but should permeate the entire organization.
Through engaging dialogues among participants and special sessions led by Nagamura and Hoshikawa Toru, any Inc. aims to enhance shared knowledge on management practices that leverage AI for greater organizational effectiveness.
The workshop's format includes interactive scenario planning and case studies that explore real-world applications of AI in management, equipping participants with practical insights and strategies to cultivate sustainable practices in their respective fields.
