Spending hours in Excel creating training seating charts?
When organizing corporate training or seminars, there are surprisingly many factors to consider: 'Distribute departments evenly across groups,' 'Don't put the same people together as last time,' 'Keep certain managers and subordinates in separate groups.' Sekigae Sensei lets you set these complex conditions and auto-generate the optimal seating chart with one tap.
""Mix sales and engineering evenly in each group." "Don't cluster all new hires together." "Make sure groups are different from last time." Are your HR and training staff still manually shuffling names in Excel? With Sekigae Sensei, just set your conditions and shuffle — fair, diverse group assignments are ready in seconds."
Optimize your training group assignments in 10 seconds with Sekigae Sensei!
Just set department and skill tags, then press 'Shuffle.' The app automatically calculates optimal group assignments. CSV import handles rosters of hundreds. Save and share completed seating charts in one stop.
1. Auto-balance groups by department & role with tags
Simply tag participants with labels like 'Sales,' 'Engineering,' or 'Manager,' and the app automatically distributes them evenly across groups. What used to take 30 minutes of manual balancing is done with one button.
2. NG pair avoidance & fixed facilitator placement
Set NG pairs like 'keep this manager and subordinate in separate groups,' or use the fixed-seat feature to place exactly one facilitator per group. Fine-grained group design that maximizes training effectiveness.
3. Multiple training layouts: island, school, U-shape
Choose island-style for group work (party mode), school-style for lectures (school mode), and more. Create layouts intuitively to match your training format. Save completed charts as images and share instantly via Slack, Teams, or email.

I used to manually calculate department balance in Excel every time, but now tags and shuffle do it all. Prep time is 1/10th of what it was.

We use it for new-hire training where groups change daily. The 'no repeat groups' setting is incredibly useful.

FAQ (Training & Seminars)
Q.Can it handle training sessions with hundreds of participants?
A.Yes. CSV import lets you bulk-load employee rosters. Party mode has virtually no participant limit. For large-scale events, we recommend creating groups by floor or session.
Q.Can I ensure groups are different from the previous training?
A.Yes. Use the History feature to reference past group assignments and set 'separate' rules to prevent repeat groupings. This promotes fresh interactions and enhances training outcomes every time.
Q.How can I share the seating chart with all participants at once?
A.Completed seating charts can be saved as high-resolution images. Share directly via Slack, Teams, email, or LINE. You can also print them for venue entrance display or project them on a monitor.
Q.Can I balance both department AND role simultaneously?
A.Yes. Multiple tags can be assigned to each participant simultaneously (e.g., 'Sales' + 'Manager'). The app considers all tag conditions at once to calculate the most balanced group composition.
Q.What if someone cancels on the day of training?
A.Simply remove the absent person from the roster and re-shuffle. All existing conditions (department balance, NG pairs, facilitator placement) are preserved, and a new chart is ready in seconds.
