【Approximately 200 Students Attended at Sophia University】Passing on the "Power to Move People" to the Next Generation: MODE DIRECTIONS Conducts Special Lecture on "Consultant-Style Logical Communication"

MODE DIRECTIONS, which creates a prosperous future through innovative consulting (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryoichi Takakura), conducted a special lecture on "Consultant-Style Logical Communication and Presentation" at Sophia University as a special program of its corporate skill training service, "MODE CAMP."

This lecture is a special arrangement of the practical logical thinking and presentation training that our company provides to corporations active on the front lines of business, tailored for university students who will be responsible for the next generation. We imparted "practical weapons" to students for implementing their own ideas into society in an era without clear answers.

Lecture Content

We explained methods of thinking and communication to generate "conviction" in the listener, incorporating actual business case examples.

【Thinking Method】The "Decomposition" and "Application" Techniques: We taught the skill of "decomposition," which breaks down abstract issues into meaningful segments to establish a logical flow, and the skill of "application (analogy)," which abstracts and adapts solutions from similar issues resolved in other industries. Practical workshops based on actual business cases were also conducted.

【Communication Method】The "PREP Method" to Move Others: To ensure listeners logically understand the content of one's thoughts without stress, participants practically learned the framework of communicating in the order of Point, Reason, Example, and Point.

Background and Motivation for Holding the Event: "Eliminate Wasteful Communication" and "Maximize Abilities to 120%"

This special lecture systematized and formalized skills that we ourselves strongly felt "we wish we had been taught in university."

As university students, opportunities to logically convey one's thoughts and gain understanding from others increase rapidly, such as in job hunting interviews, group discussions, and research presentations.

However, even with brilliant ideas or passion that one has painstakingly developed, their appeal may not be effectively conveyed to the listener simply because the "method of communication" is self-taught.

We ourselves have experienced and repeatedly witnessed such "wasteful" situations, both as professionals and as observers in society.

The services we provide through our corporate program "MODE CAMP" are not just mere business skills.

They are "building a foundation for those who take on challenges to perform at 120% of their capabilities."

This time, we had the opportunity to give back the practical knowledge we have cultivated in the business field to approximately 200 students who will shape the future society, in a specialized course at Sophia University's Faculty of Economics, Department of Business Administration (Professor Sugiya's class).

Future Outlook

MODE DIRECTIONS will continue to fully support the skill improvement and self-realization of individuals who are seriously challenging themselves, regardless of whether they are corporations or educational institutions, through "MODE CAMP." We will strive to expand our services so that our practical training can support the "next step" for as many professionals as possible.
