Visasq Launches a Groundbreaking Employee Training Program

Visasq, a leading global knowledge platform, has announced the launch of its innovative employee training program, "Visasq L&D," set to begin in September 2025. This program aims to cultivate crucial problem-setting skills among employees, focusing on identifying core issues and the ability to pose meaningful questions necessary for solving them.

Mission Focused on Connecting Knowledge and Challenge

The motto of Visasq is "Connecting Insights and Challenges." With a database of over 700,000 experts both domestically and internationally, the program plans to blend theoretical and practical learning. By participating in collaborative training sessions, employees will learn effective questioning techniques and engage in interviews with these experts to practice their skills, thereby enhancing their problem-setting capabilities through both theory and hands-on experience.

Developing the ability to identify fundamental challenges and translate them into appropriate questions is essential not just for immediate results in new business development, leadership, and sales but also contributes to continuous, autonomous skill development of each employee, ultimately driving organizational growth.

Background and Purpose of the Service: Developing Problem-Setting Talents

Visasq provides approximately 120,000 matching insights annually, supporting businesses with new project development. As part of this initiative, the company has been enhancing the value of client expert interviews through targeted training. As the market environment rapidly evolves due to technological innovations and competitive pressures, clients increasingly inquire about how companies utilizing Visasq are enhancing their problem-setting skills. In response, Visasq has decided to develop a training program that extends beyond interview techniques.

The newly crafted "Visasq L&D" takes the previous interview training framework and revamps it significantly. The program focuses on "how to pose questions" within categories commonly covered in corporate training, such as leadership, sales, management, and innovation workforce development, with the goal of enhancing problem-setting skills. By learning theory in group training and applying it through expert interviews, the program aims to establish practical and relevant problem-setting skills for real-world applications.

Unique Features of Visasq L&D

1. Combining Theory and Practice for Effective Learning

The program promotes retention of problem-setting capacities by allowing participants to apply learned questioning techniques to their own defined topics in real expert interviews. Participants will engage in logical thinking workshops and interview skills training, aimed at setting real, applicable questions that reflect their actual work challenges.

2. Flexible Integration with Other Training Programs

For training managers, there may be interests in continuing corporate training cycles while incorporating new practical components. Visasq L&D is designed to integrate seamlessly within existing employee development frameworks. For instance, businesses may choose to maintain their current theoretical classes while including Visasq's expert interviews in practice sessions to enrich their learning experience.

3. Access to a Comprehensive Database of Over 700,000 Experts

Visasq boasts a vast pool of specialists spanning over 500 industries and domains, with more than 200,000 experts registered in Japan alone and an additional 500,000 worldwide. The program allows tailored recommendations based on industry, specialty, title, location, or region, all aimed at enhancing the practical training experience tailored to specific organizational needs. Such targeted learning engages both employees and their departments, encouraging continuous motivation and deepening the desire to learn and develop skills.

Success Stories from Early Adopters of Visasq L&D

A quote from Hiromu Yasui, Head of the Soft Robotics Business Promotion Department at Bridgestone Soft Robotics Ventures, emphasizes the impact of learning through insights from pioneers not associated with the company. "Using Visasq previously for market exploration and innovation, applying the platform with a focus on learning and growth presented unprecedented insights. Our new business development relies heavily on individual experiences converted into growth, necessitating a robust learning cycle through interviews with seasoned experts."

Vision for the Future

President Eiko Hatabashi expresses her enthusiasm for the new program: "The ability to pose effective questions transforms learning into practical skills that contribute directly to growth within the organization. Since inception, fostering a continuous learning culture has been central to our mission. We aim to offer opportunities to develop inquiry skills applicable in leadership, new business ventures, sales, and talent development to a broader array of corporate employees."
