■Scenes from the experience program: Become a "management consultant" and revitalize your business!

On that day, at the Enz Arena on the 21st floor of Innogate Osaka, the Osaka headquarters, management consultants from the Education Support Department of Funai Consulting Inc. served as instructors for an "Experience the Work of a Management Consultant" program for elementary school students (middle and upper grades).
The children worked in teams to discuss how to make a fictional "slightly struggling restaurant (such as a family restaurant)" more popular with customers and how to make the restaurant more successful.
This program goes beyond simply brainstorming ideas; it incorporates a practical consulting approach that involves formulating hypotheses such as "there must be a reason why it's difficult for families to use" through comparisons with competing stores and analysis of customer reviews.

During the discussion, many concrete and insightful improvement ideas were proposed from the perspective of those directly involved (children and families), such as "adding soft foods that children like (hamburgers) and pasta that families can share," "preparing a spot-the-difference game to keep children entertained while waiting for their food," "using unbreakable tableware for children," and "serving children's meals first (to prevent them from crying from hunger)."
Finally, we presented a "Improvement Plan" summarizing those discussions to the parents and our management consultants.

■Voices of participating management consultants

We, as professional management consultants, were greatly inspired by the children's keen perspectives and their pure desire to make others happy. Seeing the children present their ideas with sparkling eyes was a valuable opportunity for us to reaffirm our pride in knowing that our work contributes to making Society a better place.

■Future Prospects ( Initiatives for coexistence with local communities and educational support)

Funai Soken Group will continue to support next-generation career education through community collaboration events like this one.
Going forward, we will continue to contribute to the development of our client companies through management consulting, and fulfill our responsibility as a " sustainable growth company" that makes a positive impact on Society through our activities contributing to local communities .
