Mr Tanaka speaking about the 3 key components of shifting workstyle.

As he elaborated more about the age of disruptive and ever-changing innovation that will change the very structures of our industries, Mr Tanaka went on to propose changing our work style to a creative workstyle. He described the 3 key components of shifting workstyle, as well as some of the things Nippon Jimuki Co., Ltd., has done so far to prepare for the change. For example, 1% of their company workforce is made up of digital workforces such as Robot NAO.

Lastly, there was a Q&A session after the lecture, where Mr Tanaka interacted with some of the guests and answered their thought-provoking questions. Guests were also able to personally interact with Robot NAO. We hope that everyone enjoyed this stimulating and relevant lecture!
