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.

We value innovation, co-creation and individual mindsets.

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.

仕事への誇りと心配り がなぜ大切か：プロフェッショナリズムの「活力サイクル」
あなたの仕事は「消耗」と「活力」のどちらを生んでいますか？日本の空港清掃員が実践する「生きがい（Ikigai）」の精神に学び、仕事への「誇り」と「心配り」が、個人と組織を活性化する「活力サイクル」をどう生み出すかを考察します。単なる義務ではなく、人としての選択が世界を変える。
スコアボードの向こう側：シドニー大学の未来のリーダーたちから学ぶこと
シドニー大学で、30人の多様な学生たちと3時間過ごし、あるシミュレーションの指導をしました。彼らは当初、ルールに縛られていましたが、すぐに自分たちでルールを作れることに気づきました。ある学生が勇気を出して、部屋の反対側にいる別のグループに話しかけに行った小さな行動が、波紋を広げました。その結果、それまでの競争的な議論は、協力して共通のビジョンを描くものへと変化していったのです。
「子どもたちの可能性は無限大」ーポッシブルワールドが教えてくれた場の力
子どもたちの「未熟さ」は、無限の可能性を秘めた最大の強みです。大人は自分の経験を基準にしがちですが、彼らの何にも染まらない心こそが、世界に貢献できるパワフルなエネルギーの源泉なのです。
先日、私が提唱する「場づくり」の理念を体現するプログラムに参加しました。予期せぬ状況の中、子どもたちと「同じ目線」で向き合うことを決意。その姿勢が、彼らの心を開き、秘めた力を引き出す鍵だと実感しました。
この経験で強く感じたのは、子どもたちのありのままの姿を引き出す「場」の力です。最終発表で彼らが見せてくれたのは、等身大の自信と社会への貢献意欲。自分の中に眠る光を見つけ、一歩踏み出す勇気を得たのです。
私たち大人は、子どもたちが自分らしく輝ける「場」を創造し続ける役割を担っています。今回の経験から、この揺るぎない第一歩は、子どもたちと同じ目線で向き合う姿勢なのだと、改めて強く感じました。
父とコーヒーとフランス語とマナビ
90歳の父との暮らしは発見に満ちている。父は「覚えられない」と笑いながら毎日フランス語に向き合う。その姿は「学ぶ」行為自体が日常を彩ることを教えてくれる。
そんな父にコーヒーの淹え方を教えた時、うまくできない姿に、つい「私がやった方が早い」と思ってしまった。子の学びが常に「正の傾き」で伸びるのに対し、高齢者の学びは結果に繋がりにくい。だが「どうせ忘れるから」と機会を奪うのは、学びの本質を見誤っているのだと、娘に教えた数学の話から気づかされた。
真の価値は、結果という物差しでは測れない「できた！」という一瞬の喜びと、人と人とが関わり合う「過程」そのものの豊かさにある。この気づきを胸に、後日父の通院を見守った。すると父は様々な手続きを一人でこなし、「俺、結構できるじゃないか」と誇らしげに笑ったのだ。
父の後ろ姿は、たとえすぐに忘れてしまうとしても、その一瞬の輝きを尊重し、学びの機会を奪わないことの尊さを、静かに示している。
