• It’s hard to design 8-12 90-minute university lectures from scratch.

  • Can’t we do it leaner?

  • There are people who want to listen to Nishio’s lectures (= potential customers)

    • Not knowing what the customer wants

    • Asking a customer, “What do you want?” will not get you the right answer.

    • We have to make it and show it.

    • Mach New Book that is disruptive innovation.

    • Mach = thought economy.

    • How about the “Mach Lecture” experiment?

  • Not “plan well in advance and get it done.”

    • Situations where knowledge acquisition is of high importance
    • We want to get customer feedback as quickly as possible. - Lean Startup
  • I have a lot of past lecture materials.

    • However, if you prepare a lot of lecture materials and speak in a speaking style, it becomes a one-way listening place like on TV.
  • A style of speaking with lots of lecture materials

    • Separate roles for speakers and listeners
    • It becomes a one-sided listening forum, like television. - I want to have a dialogue. - So, we prepare only bullet points of documents.
      • The result is lots of time for questions.
      • I want to make it a gathering of people who value that kind of time with me.

About this special lecture I have given a number of lectures, including “Self-Management Strategies for Engineers,” “Learning Techniques for Engineers,” and “Designing Learning Methods,” but in the style of preparing a lot of lecture materials and speaking, the roles of “speaker” and “listener” are inevitably divided, and it tends to become a one-way listening session like television. It tends to become a one-way listening session like a TV program. Therefore, we have decided to prepare only a few bullet points and emphasize “dialogue” with the participants. We hope you will actively participate in the lecture and enjoy the “dialogue” with the lecturer.

  • Connect AppleTV to projector and project iPad screen mirroring

    • Can walk around freely and handwrite on materials
  • Switch between Scrapbox and Metamoji Note with a four-finger left/right swipe to switch between apps.

  • Write bullet points of what you will talk about in Scrapbox.

  • Metamoji Note’s laser pointer function is often used

  • A 90-minute lecture is not the same as 12 classes.

  • I asked my clients, “What do you want?” I asked.
    • One is to answer the question, “What is AI all about?” The first is to answer the question, “What is AI after all?
    • The second is, “How did you act to be valued outside the company?
    • The third question is, “As a new professor, I would like to add value to Tokyo Tech MOT. What do you think?” What do you think?
    • I think that the second story, which begins with the pain of not being appreciated within the company, will resonate with the audience, and I think that many people will be impressed with how he thought and acted from that point on.
  • Strong fan perspective.
    • I don’t want to talk too much about my personal “I overcame such and such hardship.
    • I don’t really like the type of people who are happy to get on board and talk about themselves when these suggestions are made.
  • We talked for a while and came up with the idea that “Intellectual Production Techniques” would be a good idea for now.
