About

The Tankyu Intelligence Center (TIC) is a completely new education and research institution for adults by Toshiki Sumitani, who is spreading the new standard of "tankyu learning" in the educational world around the world, and Masato Oda, the representative of OSINTech Inc. who supports intelligence activities.

Feeling confused by the rapidly changing world? Textbook-based education that many of us have received. What I learned there was the mindset of always looking for the correct answer. I wonder what people in the same position are doing. What do people in authority say? Are you "searching" for questions that don't have a correct answer like this? However, even though we know that the world is changing drastically, no one in the world can answer how it will change. So how should we deal with it? ​It's about looking at the world, looking at its geographical spread and time axis, forming your own hypotheses, gathering information, and ``temporarily placing'' multiple futures. Try it. Then consider what you need to do for the future. Once you acquire this mindset, your view of the world's information will change. And you will not only know what to do, but also what you want to do. New learning using inquiry methods that stimulate intrinsic motivation and the latest technology such as RuleWatcher allows you to acquire wisdom that will last a lifetime, even in an era where knowledge quickly becomes obsolete. can. The two words "inquiry" can now be found everywhere in educational curricula. This is an educational concept that our representative, Sumiya, has been working on for nearly 30 years. I want to make my business more sustainable. I want to take advantage of change to find new opportunities and create unique projects. Whether you are starting a business, are in charge of an organization's work, have inherited a business, or are working as a citizen, inquiry and intelligence that crosses fields and continues to seek the essence are the most important things you can do to open up your future. It will be a weapon.

“Learning Required for Adults – Why Research and Intelligence Now?”

It is easy to confuse doing research with finding an answer.

IMG_4452_edited.jpg

Lately, we have been told to find own answers to questions that don't have answers, while from childhood, we have been putting efforts to meet expectations from the outside by receiving evaluation by giving correct answers. Here is a big learning gap.

I agree. It is now easier than ever to find out what you don't know. For many people, it is no longer a difficult question to answer, for example, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2021. It has finally come to be said in the educational world that the evaluation based on that standard is outdated.

The way children learn is changing to some extent, but the adult generation seems to have lost sight of the natural way of thinking and finding answers as a result of being familiar with textbook-like "learning with correct answers" for many years. 

It is a common trend these days. The yes or no answer to a project that you are unsure about whether to proceed is not something you can find out by researching, but rather something you have to think about and come up with an answer. You should first decide, "What are the requirements to proceed?" and "How much risk can you tolerate?"like that in order to fix your axis, but you may confuse doing research with finding an answer.

Even if you tell me to think for myself...

IMG_4452_edited.jpg

We often hear the phrase, "Think for yourself", but I think that people who can't break away from the familiar search for the correct answer may be at a loss as to where to start. Mr. Sumitani, how would you describe the key part of your long-standing practice of tankyu education?

If I make it simple, I will say it is curiosity.

​Through more than 20 years of tankyu education, I have witnessed how people's curiosity, desire to do, and desire to know can dramatically change them. This is not limited to children, but same for adults. Once that engine is ignited, you will be able to think and act proactively.

Problem-solving businesses have sprung up one after another.

IMG_4452_edited.jpg

Today, global issues such as environment and human rights have become conspicuous. It's not all started now, it has been happening for a long time, but it is rapidly becoming a global consensus centered on climate change issues.

I agree. This is especially evident in the fact that businesses aimed at resolving environmental and social problems have been launched one after another recently.

IMG_4431_edited.jpg
IMG_4452_edited.jpg

Yes. That in itself is a very good thing, but none of the environmental and social issues are isolated. The situation is intricately intertwined. However, there are many businesses that focus only on solving single issues. For example, focusing too much on decarbonization may neglect resource and food issues.

I see. It requires a broader awareness of the issues and knowledge that matches them.

Can't see the cliff of international trends.

IMG_4452_edited.jpg

I think so. The same is true for relationships that involve trade-offs, and it is also necessary to keep an eye on international trends. Japanese people tend to stay with domestic information only, and even now that translation technology has developed so much, they tend to read articles originally written in Japanese. Then, ahead of the business you are trying to do, Even if there is a “cliff” of international trends, we do not notice it. I have actually seen cases where technological development that was promoted with good intentions was denied by the rules of the world.

Even if it is a small business, it is very important to read and understand international trends, because in the future there will be almost no cases where only the domestic situation is relevant.

IMG_4431_edited.jpg

Because there was no place to learn intelligence in Japan.

IMG_4452_edited.jpg

Regarding the part of reading and understanding international trends, It is difficult to find an environment for learning it in Japan. That is why I believe that TIC's tankyu intelligence will be the key to a success in the future.

I agree. In the tankyu learning environment advocated by TIC, each person's curiosity, inquisitiveness, or sense of incongruity is the driving force that enables them to cooperate with those around them, verify hypotheses, and realize their ideas. I hope that more and more leaders will be born who will ignite the passion that is hidden inside them and make it manifest, creating a new era.
