■Comment from Kazumasa Watanabe

Cutting-edge technology has made it possible for companies to envision a creative future that is not an extension of their past. However, in order to open up the possibilities of the future, it is essential to be passionate and persevere without giving up. There is a line in Cinnamon's management policy that says, ``Become a sherpa of change that will lead to dramatic growth.'' Sherpas are a minority ethnic group in Nepal who support mountain climbing teams as experts and with determination to the death. I was fascinated by the passion of the people at Cinnamon, who are working with customers to create a new business structure for the AI era, and decided to participate. I myself would like to study to become a Sherpa for the growth of individuals and organizations at Cinnamon.
