He also mentioned the importance of interdisciplinary study, expanding networks, communications and system optimization.

Next, Associate Professor Kohtake of Keio University held a lecture on System Design Management. Presenting car navigation system as an example, the stakeholders were extracted and the flow of service, products and moneys were depicted using Customer Value Chain Analysis.

There are 11 student projects carried out this year. Team leaders presented a one-minute elevator pitch to recruit new participants. Students shared the project overview in world café style workshops.
