Dr. Takeuchi will be the first ICU alumnus to chair the ICU Board of Trustees. He will serve a two-year term until May 31, 2021. Profile: Dr. Takeuchi received his B.A. from International Christian University in Tokyo and M.B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. He was an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Business School from 1976 to 1983, where he taught courses in the MBA program. He joined Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo as an Associate Professor in 1983 and became Professor in 1987. In 1998, he became the Founding Dean of the first state-run business school in Japan (Hitotsubashi University Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy).

As the first liberal arts college in Japan, the university has promoted thorough bilingual education in dialogue-oriented classes. In the 60 years since the foundation of ICU, a sea change in technology has transformed our economy with AI, robots and big data. However, global issues such as poverty and famine remain unresolved, with such problems becoming ever more complex. Amidst this background, ICU provides flexible, free-thinking approaches that go beyond narrow specialization to solve global-scale problems. ICU’s mission today is to cultivate a substantial number of alumni to spearhead innovative changes in society. Greetings from Dr. Takeuchi: In realizing this mission, I will continue to carry out the financial measures and campus improvements my predecessor Mr. Kakutaro Kitashiro successfully implemented. In addition, I will enrich ICU’s education and research environment by upgrading our facility management and scholarship program. Bringing my experience and expertise as an educator to my new capacity as Chair of the Board of Trustees, I would like to pursue the following three visions: 1. Personal vision: “to serve as the bridge between Japan and the U.S.A. collaborating with Harvard and other overseas universities” 2. Vision for ICU: “to make ICU the undisputed leader in Japan on the international front through student and faculty exchanges” 3. Vision for Japan: “to raise the standing of Japanese universities in global competition by leaps and bounds using liberal arts education as the springboard” Note: Dr. Takeuchi is the only Japanese professor at the Harvard Business School. He is also a member of the faculty at Harvard University Edwin Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. He will be the first to hold positions at Harvard and serve concurrently as Chair of the Board of Trustees at a Japanese university. Also active in the business world, he serves as an outside board member at Daiwa Securities Group Inc., Brightpath Biotherapeutics Co., Ltd. and Integral Corporation. 2 In September 2019, he will publish a new book in English with Ikujiro Nonaka from Oxford University Press, entitled The Wise Company. It is a sequel to the award-winning book The Knowledge-Creating Company they published 24 years ago. On a personal front, he enjoys playing sports with his family members, former students, and friends. He is an avid skier, golfer and an active tennis, baseball, and futsal player. He was on the varsity soccer team during his four years at ICU and now serves as an advisor to the Japan Football Association. In 2020, he will serve as a volunteer for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, which is his second assignment since serving as an interpreter for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ Contact：International Christian University Public Relations Office Tel: +81-422-33-3040 Fax: +81-422-33-3355 E-mail: [email protected] 3 .

  • Humanizing Management and Innovation
    Kindai Management Review Vol. 8, 2020 (ISSN: 2186-6961) Humanizing Management and Innovation Hirotaka Takeuchi Harvard Business School, USA Abstract This article is an excerpt from The Wise Company book that Ikujiro Nonaka and I published in October 2019 from Oxford University Press. It is a sequel to The Knowledge-Creating Company book we published 25 years ago. As our thinking evolved from information to knowledge to wisdom, we have increasingly pushed for a more humane form of management that uses unique human qualities to innovate for the good of society. They include imagination, empathy, intuition, ideals, morals, sensitivity, and more. The article starts out by addressing our rationale on why we are putting these human quali- ties at the center of management when the world is becoming more complex and digital. The article then discusses the future of innovation, which we divided into three stages: Zero to One; One to Nine; and Nine to Ten. In every stage, there will be a fusion of the analog and the digi- tal, where humans and machines will work together and co-evolve. We conclude, however, that humans will lead the co-evolution in the first and third stages, while machines will lead in the second stage. Keywords: knowledge creation, knowledge practice, practical wisdom or phronesis, ba, continuous innovation, fusion of analog and digital, management as a way of life In October 2019, Ikujiro Nonaka and I published emphasized the central role it plays in management The Wise Company,1) a sequel to The Knowledge- and organizational life. Creating Company.2) The publication of our first On the practical front, we wanted to make book gave birth to the field of knowledge manage- knowledge creation a way of life for everyone, thus ment and sparked a movement not just as an aca- humanizing it.

Main ideas from Sprint methodology. 2. Main ideas from Rapid Application Development (RAD). Scrum Iterative & Incremental Models Major Software Development Models There a many Software Development Models with their strengths and weaknesses. But, they can be categorized into 3 major categories: 1. Waterfall – Structured, top/down approach. Examples: Waterfall, Structured System Analysis and Development Methodology (SSADM). 2. Iterative & Incremental – Iteratively go through important software development “steps” (analysis, design, build, etc.) and incrementally build the system. Examples: Spiral, RAD, Agile, etc. 3. Prototyping – Build prototypes, get feedback, refine. Once get the final version – build the software and deploy. Examples: RAD, Prototyping. Let’s start with a history… Scrum history… In their book, “New Product Development Game”, Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka explained the ideas of what we now call Scrum as: "a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal“. In 1995 Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber presented the main ideas at Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages & Applications. Roles There are 3 roles in Scrum: • Product owner • Scrum master • The team Role: Product owner The team member who knows the business and customer needs, as well as can make decisions on behalf of the client. S/he is responsible for communication between the developer team and the business. The main goal of Product Owner is successfully build the final product that meets business needs. The Product Owner must be “friends” with both: the business and the developer team.

  • The Secret History of Agile Innovation by Darrell K
    INNOVATION The Secret History of Agile Innovation by Darrell K. Rigby, Jeff Sutherland, and Hirotaka Takeuchi APRIL 20, 2016 You hear a lot about “agile innovation” these days. Teams using agile methods get things done faster than teams using traditional processes. They keep customers happier. They enjoy their work more. Agile has indisputably transformed software development, and many experts believe it is now poised to expand far beyond IT. Ironically, that’s where it began — outside of IT. Some trace agile methodologies all the way back to Francis Bacon’s articulation of the scientific method in 1620. A more reasonable starting point might be the 1930s, when the physicist and statistician Walter Shewhart of Bell Labs began applying Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to the improvement of products and processes. Shewhart taught this iterative and incremental- development methodology to his mentee, W. Edwards Deming, who used it extensively in Japan in the years following World War II. Toyota hired Deming to train hundreds of the company’s managers, eventually capitalizing on his expertise to develop the famous Toyota Production System — the primary source of today’s “lean” thinking. Iterative and incremental development methods were also a major contributor to the successful creation of the X-15 hypersonic jet in the 1950s. In 1986, one of us (Takeuchi) and coauthor Ikujiro Nonaka published an article in Harvard Business Review called “The New New Product Development Game.” Studying manufacturers that were releasing successful innovations far faster than competitors, the authors identified a team-oriented approach that changed the design and development process for products such as copiers at Fuji- Xerox, automobile engines at Honda, and cameras at Canon.

  • The New Dynamism of the Knowledge-Creating Company
    JKE2_ch01.qxd 6/6/06 10:09 AM Page 1 1 The New Dynamism of the Knowledge-Creating Company Hirotaka Takeuchi To be on the cutting edge in a knowledge economy, a company must be knowledge- creating. Being simply knowledgeable is not enough. What does it mean to be a knowledge-creating company? As described below, the concepts are straight- forward—it is the practice that is hard. The first detailed analysis was published in 1995 by Nonaka and Takeuchi in a study titled The Knowledge-Creating Company: How Japanese Companies Create the Dynamics of Innovation. Subsequently, the knowl- edge movement has spread and the literature grown enormously.1 How could a book written in Japan about Japanese companies spawn such a fol- lowing and follow-up? The short answer is because there was something to learn from the Japanese approach to knowledge. But that was the past; the distinctive fea- tures of the Japanese approach to knowledge described in 1995 are now well known. What of the future? Are Japanese firms still innovative? Is the Japanese approach to knowledge creation still at the frontier of management? Has a new dynamism propelled it even further? Or has the Japanese approach been overtaken and thus reached a stalemate? As one of the authors of the original study, I have joined the World Bank Insti- tute and colleagues at Hitotsubashi University to produce this volume to answer these questions. The short answers are innovation is alive and well in Japan, and the Japanese approach has a new dynamism that makes it as relevant as ever— perhaps even more so.

INTRODUCTION 68 Knowledge creation fuels innovation. This was the central message of The Knowledge-Creating Company book Ikujiro Nonaka and I published in 1995, when both of us were at Hitotsubashi University. This book presented a theory on how new knowledge is created through an interactive process known as SECI (Socialization, Externalization, Combination, Internalization: see Exhibit 1). We Hirotaka Takeuchi1 argued that this knowledge-creating process, which came to be Professor of Management Practice known as the SECI model, holds the key to understanding what Harvard Business School, brings about continuous innovation in firms. Harvard University, USA Jiro Nonaka and I are now writing a book that extends our thinking into [email protected] the field of strategy. We hope to publish this book by 2015, which will mark the twentieth anniversary of the publication of The Knowledge- Creating Company book. Jiro Nonaka is still at Hitotsubashi University, but I moved back to the Harvard Business School in 2010 and started teaching a course called Knowledge-Based Strategy within the Strategy Unit of the School.
