To grow and transform the company into a sustainable value creator by implementing new intellectual capital management and making invisible corporate value visible.

In today's rapidly changing business environment, we offer a variety of strategic consulting services based on the concept of identifying invisible corporate value through intellectual capital assessment, and creating and supporting highly feasible strategies based on that value in order to achieve sustainable corporate value enhancement.

Challenges Our Clients Face

CHALLENGE

Integrated reports have become just a collection of information

CHALLENGE

Not understanding their true strengths.

CHALLENGE

The organization is not capable of moving as one toward the perpasses set by the entire company.

How did we help?

We work together with the client's management team to support the client's corporate transformation, from the formulation of the corporate vision, including what kind of value the company will provide and what kind of society it aims to realize, to the formulation of management and business strategies that leverage the strengths of the company, to business model and organizational transformation.

In order to achieve corporate transformation (CX), it is essential to foster the commitment of senior management that transcends organizational barriers to determine where to aim and what needs to change, and without the leadership of those responsible for implementation, it is impossible to achieve results. We have accompanied our clients in overcoming various hurdles together before action takes root, such as materializing strategies, spreading awareness of the need for change, acquiring new organizational capabilities, and strengthening leadership.

In many cases, change is not completed within the company itself, but must be multiplied with M&A and DX promotion, including partner strategies and startups that involve stakeholders in the industry. With the concept of intellectual capital management as our core, we have created a system that enables us to solve complex management issues by forming an optimal team of specialized experts.

The attraction is that they are willing to sweat with us. No matter how good the picture or plan may be, if it is not implemented, it will end up as a mere picture. The company was able to achieve results in the reforms because they were willing to work with us even on the mundane aspects of the project and even worked with us to create a successful case study. It was significant that the management team was able to come together in a unified manner to discuss what they wanted to become, and to express their awareness of issues and ideas that had been buried within the company. While we had an idea of the direction we wanted to take, we did not have specific experience or knowledge of how to go about it, and the M&A team contributed to strengthening our organizational capabilities, including the hiring and training of human resources and the creation of processes, which led to the implementation and retention of our ideas. M&A tends to fall into the financial and tangible perspective of buying businesses and assets, but the fact that we were able to draw a growth strategy from the perspective of intellectual capital and materialize mutual value had a significant impact on the deal.
