Empowering 2,000 Mentors in Oneness Management by 2040
Flaps Plan Inc., a company headquartered in Shibuya and led by President Hisanori Fukunaga, is committed to nurturing a remarkable quota of 2,000 certified mentors in Oneness Management by the year 2040. This ambitious initiative is part of their involvement in the April Dream project, which aims to share dreams and aspirations on April 1st, recognized as Dream Day.
With a focus on middle managers and executives of small to medium-sized enterprises in Japan and Asia, Flaps Plan emphasizes the importance of organizational reform through tailored training and mentoring. Their innovative approach combines the elements of coaching with advisory support to establish effective communication skills essential for the business environment.
The core philosophy of Flaps Plan can be encapsulated in their motto: "Everyone can be someone’s mentor." This reflects a desire to create an engaged culture where experienced professionals guide others toward personal and professional growth.
Throughout their journey, Fukunaga has encountered numerous CEOs struggling to communicate their ideas. Phrases like, "Why doesn’t my message resonate?" or "I’ve repeated this many times, yet it’s still falling flat," are all too familiar. Such challenges often stem from a deep love and commitment that, paradoxically, leads to heavier, less impactful language. Many CEOs are willing to impart knowledge but lack the ability to create conditions where employees feel inspired to understand deeply.
Flaps Plan fills this gap by acting as a supportive intermediary, not as a superior or family member, which encourages a more open exchange. By reframing messages from different angles, mentors help executives communicate effectively, leading to those enlightening moments of realization: understanding fosters motivation, which, in turn, propels organizational growth.
As of 2026, Flaps Plan has successfully trained 1,835 students, with impressive results—78% of participants report an enhanced perspective, and 71% have expressed increased trust in their executives. These outcomes are not merely training statistics; they signify a substantial transformation in the workforce mentality.
Training Environment
Amid a declining labor population, many skilled women in Japan are temporarily stepping away from their careers due to caregiving responsibilities. Flaps Plan recognizes the potential of these individuals, who inherently possess listening, empathy, and support skills. Their goal is to equip these women with over 50 hours of training to become certified mentors, known as Oneness Management Mentors, extending their influence across Japan and Asia.
By 2040, Flaps Plan envisions a world where over 2,000 mentors are continually standing by someone’s side, engaged in sharing knowledge and support. This is not merely a dream but a call to action, driven by a genuine intent to foster a culture of mentorship.
The guiding principle at the heart of Flaps Plan remains: "People can only give what they have received." Those who have encountered great leaders tend to become great leaders themselves. Individuals who have been mentored are then able to extend that mentorship to others, creating a chain reaction of personal and communal transformation.
April Dream Initiative
The April Dream initiative, run by PR TIMES, encourages companies to share their long-term aspirations on April 1st, with the hope of turning dreams into reality. Flaps Plan is deeply invested in this pursuit, actively working to realize their vision of a future with robust mentorship within organizations.
