Introduction

On the basis of my 40 years experience of Fujitsu HR, I established my office,

Kentaro office, at Tokyo in 2016.

From 1996 to 1998 I participated in IMPM (International Master Program for

Managers) which was organized by Prof. Henry Mintzberg of McGill University.

I have been promoting Coaching Ourselves which is a short version of IMPM

created by Prof. Mintzberg in Japan for more than 10 years.

At this point more than 2000 managers in Japan have completed this program.

In Fujitsu more than 500 managers.

I am promoting the two initiatives which are peer learning systems in Fujitsu

Group companies.

I started Fujitsu Marketing In-house Business School with Yokohama Business

School which belongs to Yokohama National Universtiy. This In-house Business

School has been continuing for 6 years so far.

Another initiative is Fujitsu Social Science Laboratory In-house MOT School

which I designed. It started in this April with Tokyo University of Science.

My other activities are as follows;

I am in charge of the Japan Module of IMPM which will be held in 2019.

I started to prepare for it as a co-director.

From 2016 I have been an associated research scholar of Hitotsubashi

Institute of Economic Research. I am conducting a joint research with

professors of Hitotsubashi University in terms of productivity improvement of

white-collar workers.

Hitotsubashi University is one of the best universities in Japan in terms of

economics and management.

From 2003 I have been a member of the International Advisory Board of

Exeter Business School.
