Well-being innovation Tonomachi Edge (extreme course)

zenschool Tonomachi

Outline of the event

"Well-being innovation Tonomachi Edge (strengthening course) zenschool @ Tonomachi" is a "Zen-like" dialogue to bring out the "passion" that is the most important element for actually making a business. We will focus on the work to change.
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Inc., loved and practiced "Zen". It's easy to imagine that it had a big impact on the simplicity of the company's product development. In this course, I arranged the work of mindfulness, which was born on the west coast of the United States, was adopted by Google, and is beginning to spread to companies all over the world. Gain the power to notice the seeds of "passion". After that, while learning the process of growing the seeds and turning them into a business through lectures, I hope to put them into practice in the work and announce the final results.
Those who took the course through the work will take out the "passion" that they had hidden in themselves, which they had not expected before taking the course, and at the earliest, they will be able to start a new business within a year. The goal is to release a new business within one year after graduation for those who belong to a company, and to support entrepreneurship within one year for those who are aiming for independence and entrepreneurship. The 3rd and 4th terms were held last year, and a total of 10 people have completed the course, and we are still continuing to back up for starting a business.
For those taking this program, it is more effective to have synergistic effects if they have already learned design thinking and lean startup techniques, but it is not always necessary.
In addition, the lecture will provide an overview of various tools (IT services, crowdfunding, press releases, etc.) that are considered necessary for commercialization.
Then, we will make a presentation at the final result presentation after the intensive lecture and create an opportunity to recruit business partners. After that, we will provide a one-year follow-up program, and if you encounter a problem while checking the progress of the project, we will support the commercialization by introducing collaborators in the zenschool graduate community of more than 130 people. I will do it.
