■ビジネス英語 Interview3-8
Shibata:
This time, we invited Brett Cline, a company executive who has worked in both large corporations and startups. His insights into technological innovation from an engineer's perspective were quite refreshing for someone like me with a humanities background. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're not a science person either, are you?
Jenny:
You're right. I'm more of creative type, which is why I felt like I was transported another world while listening to him talk. For example, Brett explain computer processers, which he calls "the brains of electronic chips and systems." It reminded me how semiconductors are used in such a wide range of electronic devices.

S:Indeed. Semiconductor have become essential for our everyday lives. What resonated with me in his talk was the idea that the most important things is the people you work with. To create something new, you need to have like-minded and passionate colleagues or bosses, right?


humanities　　　　人文科学・文科系
Correct me if I'm wrong, but　間違っていたら訂正してほしいのですが
science person　理系の人間　*～~person ～派の人
more of　　　　どちらかというと～。
like-minded　　　同じ志をもつ　思いを同じくする

J:I couldn't agree more. Especially when creating something doesn't exist in the world, you need people from different backgrounds to come together, brainstorm with enthusiasm, and persist through challenges.

S:Right. And you need to bring to the point, where you can commercialize it and make a profit in the end.
By the way, Brett gave us valuable advice on the art of presentation. Understanding your audience or customers is certainly important, isn't it?

J:Yes, and same goes for our program. We always have to think about what the listeners need and what's in it for them.

S:Point taken. In this respect, it's crucial to understand the needs of global companies. I believe that creating a program that addresses global competencies they are seeking will add value for listeners.

persist　　　　やり抜く
commercialize　　商業化する
The same goes for　　～にも同じことがいえる
What's in it for　　　～にとってどんな利点（メリット）があるのか
Point taken　　　なるほどそうですね。
global competencies　グローバル人材の素養

＜相手に確認する例＞
J:The implementation of the new software is going well. The IT department has reported minimal issues so far. Everyone seems to be comfortable with the new system, don't they?

S:Oh, yes. Staff training is almost complete. We can't afford any mistakes during this transition period, so we'll continue to monitor the situation closely.
