Connecting people and ideas
Maximize your potential
Focusing on ideas, innovation and co-creation, we aim to recognize each individual's unique mindset and explore the possibilities that emerge from it.
Message from P-Lab
P-Lab aims to maximize people's potential and create a better future. We help individuals and organizations explore their challenges and possibilities through our innovative tool, "Possible World," and create new perspectives and solutions. Possible World is a simulation game that mimics the real world. Participants can experience various roles in a pseudo-world and freely try out ideas. Through this process, we can expect various effects such as strengthening teamwork, creative problem solving, and discovering potential. We use Possible World in a wide range of fields, including corporate training, education, and regional revitalization. We support the growth and change of each participant by providing sessions customized to their needs. P-Lab believes in the potential of Possible World and its mission is to deliver this experience to more people. Join us and open the door to the future.
P-Lab | About Us
P-Lab is a platform that believes in the potential that everyone has and co-creates the future.
We value innovation, co-creation and individual mindsets.
By maximizing people's hidden potential, we will create a richer future.
POINT1
Why a simulation game?
By experiencing a simulation of the real world, we can gain an objective perspective and face ourselves. The realizations we gain through the "experience" of gaming go beyond our intellectual understanding and are imprinted deeply in each individual's heart.
The realizations gained in this way allow you to reinterpret various phenomena as something that concerns you personally, bringing about changes in your work and daily life. This chain of changes then becomes the force that will lead the real world in a better direction.
POINT 2
Learning and training process
By repeatedly looking back on the experiences you have had in games from multiple perspectives, you will develop deeper realizations. Through game experiences that stimulate the five senses and through dialogue, you will delve deeper into your inner self and gain a clear understanding of what is happening within you.
The answers you find through this process are yours alone. They are not tied to someone else's correct answers, but are deeply internalized as true understanding born from your own experiences.
POINT3
P-Lab
P-Lab starts with believing in the potential of each individual. We support each individual to find answers that they can accept and take action, without being trapped by preconceived notions or stereotypes.

ゲームの中でペルソナ体験をしたら、世界の見え方が変わった
発想の転換を促すオンラインゲームコンテンツ「ポッシブルワールド」では、参加者が“なりたい誰か”を演じることがあります。
それは、現実での肩書きでも性格でもありません。
「本当はこんなふうに動いてみたい」「こんな人になってみたい」という気持ちに、少しだけ素直になってみる。
そんな遊び心が、あちこちで息づいています。
平均点より「ウェルビーイング」？教育の本質を問い直す
「平均点を上げるように」
これは、学校現場ではよく聞かれる言葉です。
成績を上げること、数値で見える成果を出すことが、教育の目的であるかのように。
でも、ふと立ち止まって思うんです。
本当にそれだけが、子どもたちの「学び」なのでしょうか？
何もないから生まれる：余白が導く創造とつながり
なぜ、今「余白」が必要なのか？
現代社会は、常に成果を求められ、スピードが重視される環境が当たり前となっています。そのような中で、人々が「息苦しさ」や「閉塞感」を抱くケースが増えています。
こうした社会のあり方に対し、「何もない空間＝余白」が持つ力に着目する動きがあります。ポッシブルワールド・ラジオ「#47 目的を手放す勇気と、そこにある可能性」の中で、創造やつながりの可能性は、むしろ何も定義されていない空間にこそ宿る、という話がありました。
学校に地域がやってくるーーただ“そこにいる”ことの価値
かつての子どもたちは、空き地や駄菓子屋、公園など、特に目的もなく集える場所で自然と人と関わることができました。
そこには、偶然の出会いと関係性の中で、教え合いでも競争でもない豊かな学びがありました。
しかし現代では、安全性や効率性が優先され、そうした「ただそこにいる」場所が少なくなっています。
子どもが地域の大人と出会う機会も減り、教育の現場でも、目的と成果が前提となる関係性が中心になっています。
偶然から始まる学びの余白が、静かに失われつつあります。
