Often attended the meeting at OSDL, Open Source Development Lab), which is a globally-organized neutral development organization of open source software. I attended of of representing staff of NEC group.
    • IT Coordinators Association (2006-2011), as secretariat staff for the chairman of ITCA. Typical activity was proliferation project called IT Caravan sponsored by Microsoft, etc. covering nation-wide IT campaign tour by bus having lectures, demonstration, workshops at various local cities in Japan.

    • ICT Management Partners Association (2011-now) as Secretary-General of this association promoting constancy and matching opportunities for SMB Japan to promote I Ct-enpowered management style.
  4. Academic experiences and activities:
    • Fellow (and now Executive Research Fellow since 2011) of the Center for Global Communications of International University of Japan at Roppongi, Tokyo, since 1998; participated various workshops related to the Inforsocionomics presided by Prof. Kumon and his successors.
    • Since 2011, involved as an operation staff of FTM (Future Technology Management) aiming to study environmental and sustainable society after the Fukushima accident in 2011 composed of industry-academic-government cooperation, having several workshops and conference at Glocom each month.
    • Part-time lecturer at 1) Ryuku University, 2) Nanzan University, 3) ICU, 4) Tokyo Institute of Technology, and JICA, etc.
  5. NPO experiences and activities:
    • (NPO) IT Coordinators Association (2006-2011); function of organizing and assisting nation-wide IT coordinators in keeping qualification status and assisting to have business opportunities as IT coordinators.
    • ICT Management Partners Association (2011-now); organizing various specialtion of management and ICT to assist as consultants, staff, agent for SMB in Japan. Also organizing virtual corporation composed of such specialits, which will function as studying and performing activitings throgu lecture, workshops and activites of segmented groups involving vendor and user companies.
    • BPM (Business Process Management), Agile development, utilization of cloud services as well as ITC methodology of ITC Process Guideline are core of tips for ITC.
    • Preparation for presentation materials for the chairman Mr. T. Seki is my continued task after ITCA, which is not only for the former chairman, but for my self; applicable for various opportunties of presentation or lectures. The backgroud data and former materieals shoud be kept in order and regularly updated so that those are avaiable if needed.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE & CONCERN:

  1. Practical English capability:
    • Continued study of mastering English as a business tool and a way of thinking, and as a source of the latest knowledge written in English.
    • Background: the first foreign language since middle junior high school and the most favorite subject since high school days.
    • Studied incentive course at Harvard Business School (PMD-59) at Boston in 1990. I was one of the only eight Japanese in more than hundred students. Three case studies each containing about 30 pages of writing required tough preparations particularly for non-native participants, but I challenged it and tried to be active at the class debate. The year of 1990 was lucky for Japanese, because it was the summit period of Japanese economy: the debase of Japan vs. US became often the discussing theme at the class.
    • TOEIC score of 840.
  2. Publish or perish:
    • Continued publishing activities, mostly through my private bilingual HP (http://www.ictm-p.jp/), which became nearly 60MB volume.
    • I am trying to make my HP into trilingual or more global HP writing not only English, but also in Chinese, Spanish, etc.
    • I think the Western culture has Latin culture, while the Eastern one Chinese character as historic background. Spanish retains good Latin vocabulary. (Esperanto is interesting, but has not enough study materials.) Thus, I chose English and Spanish representing Western culture, and Chinese and Japanese representing Eastern culture as learning languages.
    • Comparative study of English0-Spanish-Chinese-Japanese would be another challenge of my speciality.
    • Challenging to write books through Glocom and ICTMP activities, starting from co-author experiences.
  3. Global concern and challenging spirit:
    • "Being global" is my favorite slogan, often used as my lecture theme at universities, which covers how to make global business, to spend global life, and to think globally, including how to learn foreign languages.
    • "Begin digital" would be always related to being global; we are living in globalized digital flat world particularly since 2000.
    • Watching and collecting the latest trend of global and ICT related issues, and trying to publish them in my HP, otherwise I would perish myself. The famous slogan of 'Publish and perish" was learned at HBS.
    • Furthermore, it is economical to read English or foreign language books. To fill up half of my bookshelves by foreign books would be my final target, though still filled with lots of Japanese books got through long school days. Whenever I visit book stores in Japan, I have realized that almost all book sold there are written in Japanese only; while other countries in US, Europe, China, East-Asian countries are different, where the bookstores sell foreign language written books together with local books.
    • The situation of music CD and movie DVD are a bit different; in Japan they sell lots of US or European ones, but not much from other countries. Latin, Russian and Arabic music CD is difficult to get. Movie DVD are more different; in Japan we can buy Korean and Chinese movies, but unfortunately whose narration or subtitle is Japanese; furthermore Japanese included DVD's are expensive. I am obliged to buy international version of DVD at a virtual shop, which usually contain English and Chinese subtitles other than original narration at reasonable prices.
  4. Scientific interest and thinking:
    • I studied Geology at Faculty of Science of University of Tokyo. Geology or Geoscience is an applied science of physics, chemical and biology, and related various interdisciplinary sciences. And actually I had worked as a geologist at PNC and the beginning of Itochu Crop. So, I continue to study targeting widely wider themes of science and scientific history. Recently astrobiology is getting more interest to me. Ṣcientific writer such as Isac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, and other talented writers are my favorite authors.
    • Theory of information and IT technology is also interesting. I think computer is a friend of mine as long as it is obedient, but in long future it could acquire the ability of thinking by itself, then judging and taking action irrelevant to human order. And I'm afraid that some day AI could be an enemy of human kind, because by then computers could be ubiquitous; we need to distinguish ubiquitous computer which is friend and which is enemy. It could be a new type of cyber rebellion or attack against humankind, which come not only outside like virus, but internal alternate organs or buried chips inside of ourselves.
  5. Future uneasiness:
    • A future battle between carbon and silicon! We have developed utilities of carbon technology considering carbon-based architecture of our body. Silicon has been a discovery and development as computer chips since middle of 20C. But some day in future, the rebellion of silicon-based AI against carbon-base humankind would be inevitable, if and when silicon-based AI acquired ability of judging themselves and reproduction method of AI. Reproduction could be possible by way of transmitting information like DNA.
    • Nuclear radiation from Uranium and Plutonium could be an assistant from carbon creature against silicon-based AI. Though we would give up further nuclear power generation, but the basic research of nuclear technology would be necessary not only for basic research but for the possibility of future unknown enemy.
