[The Essence of New Business] enableX's Shun Kenmochi × Yoji Nakamura on Leadership and the Art of Business Development
A video unpacking the essence of business leadership required for new-business development. Anchored on the theme that mission and the meaning of life are not given but created by oneself, this conversation explores why so many new ventures fail. The root cause of failure is dependence on frameworks and processes; what is truly required is a business leader who can articulate a clear vision and rally the organization. Drawing on the case of Kansai Electric Power's Optage, we show that the core of a leader is not skills but a sense of responsibility and strong will. The conversation is rich with practical perspectives: leaders are not limited to full-time employees and can also be external talent, and focusing on objectives eliminates organizational waste.

The Business Leadership That Drives New Ventures to Success | A Conversation on Vision, Accountability, and Talent Discovery
What is the business leadership truly required to make new ventures succeed? In this video, through dialogue, we explore the essence of leaders who move new ventures forward — from the angles of vision, accountability, pressure, talent discovery, and development. It offers significant insight for executives engaged in new-business initiatives within large enterprises, business-development leads, and organization-development and HR leaders. This is not a discussion of frameworks alone. The question is whether one can decide it's hard, so we'll do it rather than it's hard, so we'll stop. What sustains that judgment is a strong vision and a sense of accountability. The quality of the business leader carrying the new venture determines the venture's success — that is the perspective explored here. We also delve concretely into how to discover leadership talent buried within the enterprise, how to develop them, and what kind of environment and KPI design are needed. We invite anyone interested in new business, business development, intrapreneur development, or executive-talent development to watch through to the end.
