Thursday, November 05, 2026 / 03:15 PM - 04:00 PM JST
About the Session
Reductions in management layers to improve productivity and reduce costs induces anxiety in middle managers about their roles being replaced by AI and being undervalued in their organization. Since transformation is inevitable, AI investments cannot be bypassed. In this session, we reframe middle managers not as a frozen middle but as the core driving transformation. Explore the concrete support measures to help middle managers evolve from supervisors of technology into leaders in the AI age.
