Digital
We have indicated two directions for digital transformation for companies: Business model sophistication = DI (digital integration) and business model transformation = DX (digital transformation). But now that sustainability is a business prerequisite, a simple digital transformation is not enough to survive unless it is an all-out transformation. How do they confront the issue of transformation head on and achieve it through destruction and creation? This is an imperative issue thrust before Japanese companies.
Our Essential
With DX being the core theme of corporate management, we quickly became aware that efforts toward DX are inconsistent with strategy theory, which is the foundation of management strategy. And so, we began pursuing a strong DX that is integrated with strategy theory.
Furthermore, our strength lies in the fact that we have a higher track record of tech-division- or company-wide DX support than individual DX measures. Our DX consulting, which takes both a management perspective and a thorough inspection of clients, brings dynamism to digital transformation.
