"Thinking about challenges for the future"
Mr. Naoya Kakizoe (Former President of Nippon Suisan Co., Ltd., Vice Chairman of Rakusuikai)
At the beginning, Mr. Kanda explained the purpose of the Advanced Specialized Career Development Theory.
Next, President Takeuchi gave a greeting, saying, "The Career Development Office has been involved with the project since its inception. We hope that the project will continue in the future, so please look forward to it."
Next, Specially Appointed Professor Shiotani introduced Mr. Kakizoe, who was the lecturer for today, saying, "He served as the president of Nippon Suisan Co., Ltd. for XNUMX years and played an active role as a leader of the fisheries industry in Japan." It was a presentation of.
Mr. Kakizoe said, "Today, I would like to think about the theme of 'Challenging the Future' with everyone." It means that what you want to do is concrete,” he explained.
It's always changing, all the time.You build your career to see change as an opportunity.And to change the present is to create the future, and it is no fun unless we think about the future.
Here, there was an explanation about "If you want to change the future, you can change it."
Three great seniors, Tatsunosuke Takasaki, Kosuke Kokushi, and Toichiro Nakashima, studied at this university at the same time XNUMX years ago.After returning from the United States, Mr. Takasaki started a can manufacturing company, where he standardized the shape of cans and improved productivity and quality.Mr. Kokushi went to England to study trawl fishing when he was a student. At the age of XNUMX, he founded the company that was the predecessor of the current Nippon Suisan, and raised it to become the world's largest fisheries company that covers fishing, processing, and distribution.Mr. Nakajima was the same age as Mr. Takasaki and was on good terms with him.Mr. Nakajima has also seen England and America.He commercialized mayonnaise in Japan, which he encountered in the United States, and contributed greatly to the westernization of Japanese cuisine.
Along with the introduction of Mr. Ichijiro Itani, who was a tutor for the three, what they have in common and their beliefs were introduced.
Since its founding, the university has been the center of practical learning. I think it's important to be specific about what you want to challenge.
Next, he said that he would like to think about the use of the sea, and explained with a slide.
In Japan, spending on fresh food is declining and there is a shift towards ready-to-eat foods.Agriculture, forestry and fisheries are expected to challenge new domestic fields and overseas markets.In addition, research on thawing technology for refrigerated warehouses and experiments on marine renewable energy are being actively carried out.Even if research progresses, it will not be established as an industry unless it is put into practical use.Also, Japan has the world's best marine research capabilities, and it is important for people to come out to industrialize this.Desk research is important, but it's also important to go to the field, not to miss any changes, and how to respond to those changes.
When I was president, I gave every new employee a kitchen knife, whetstone, and cutting board as gifts.This was a message that I want you to constantly improve yourself.There was also a system that allowed new employees to communicate directly with the president by email once a month.At that time, many people said that he wanted to do this job because he had done this research at university.To such people, I told them, "Don't judge your future from a narrow perspective, and challenge yourself in a broader field."Nissui is looking for someone who is passionate about achieving personal growth and team growth at the same time.
``Creating the future is risky, but not trying to create it is riskier,'' he quoted Drucker. I think," he said.
At this point, a discussion was held with the participants regarding the image of "creating the future."
It is important to think, "I want to change my current self," because if I think, "I am fine with my current self," there will be no progress.If you eliminate your preconceptions and don't look at it consciously, you will become monocular thinking.First of all, I want you to dream and think about what you need to improve in order to realize your dream.
Finally, quoting Shoin Yoshida's words, Mr. Kakizoe concluded his lecture by saying, "Dreams are necessary, but dreams alone will not succeed. I would like everyone to take on the challenge of the future."
Next, we entered the Q&A session.
Q1: What kind of ideals and goals did Mr. Kakizoe have when he joined the company?Also, how did it change after you joined the company?
A1: First, I went whaling.I was able to learn a lot in the extreme world.After that, whaling was banned, but that didn't mean my life was over, and I started a new in-house business.
Q2: What is your lifetime goal?
A2: We would like to deliver the idea of ??``from fishing to processing to distribution'' advocated by Mr. Kokushi to the global market by building a world-class network and promoting collaboration.For that reason, we continue to study resource issues.
Q3: What is the driving force (energy) for Mr. Kakizoe?
A3: How you make energy is up to you.Even if I try to be like the three great seniors, I may not be able to do so, but my desire to become one is my energy.And I think that is the centripetal force and the attraction of people.
Q4: Based on your long experience as a manager, what kind of person do you want to hire?
A4: I want you to value not only what you learned in the manual, but also your own sensitivity.Being uniform is not interesting as a human being.I think it is necessary for students to be able to concisely talk about their dreams and express their individuality.
Finally, Professor Shiotani closed the lecture by saying, "Thank you very much for all of your helpful talks."
