On June 18, we were thrilled to welcome over 20 members of the Industry Co-Creation (ICC) community and local friends to ARI! ICC is a network of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and producers from across Japan who gather to learn and co-create new industries.
As part of their fieldwork in the Nasu area, they also made a stop at ARI.
Associate Director Oyanagi and I guided them on a campus tour, introducing ARI’s daily learning and sustainable practices. Following this, Tomoko Arakawa, our Managing Director, shared ARI’s philosophy of “Servant Leadership” and discussed the challenges we face.
We received wonderful feedback and inspiring ideas from the members, such as:
“Servant Leadership is exactly what modern corporate management needs.”
Potential collaboration for corporate training programs.
New ways to share our graduates’ stories.
For over 50 years, ARI has nurtured learning for living together. Inspired by these new connections, we will continue to share our values with the world! Thank you so much to everyone who visited us!
