Issues Requiring a Response
There are numerous factors that require close attention, such as rising political and social tension and the ramifications caused by the increasingly unclear outlook for the global economy, but we expect the favorable business environment for the Group to continue.
Amid the social trend requiring the balancing of solutions to social issues with economic development, a succession of innovative technologies, such as generative AI, have entered the stage of practical application, and it is likely that social demand for the utilization of digital technologies will continue to expand and diversify. In connection with these clear business opportunities, we expect significant changes in the competitive environment on both the demand side and the supply side, influenced by factors including advancements by global IT platformers and consulting firms, as well as more active new entry to the industry from companies in peripheral industries.
With forecasted major changes in the environment, we believe it is important that the Group further refines our strength in our deep understanding of customers and technologies and also strengthens and expands our ability to solve issues through co-creation with players with a diverse range of capabilities. Our understanding of management issues facing the Company is as follows.
- Active entry into growth domains
Continue efforts to strengthen our earnings base and develop an environment for creating high value-added services, technologies, and human resources - Strengthening and expansion of issue-solving capabilities
Enhance insight concerning the true issues faced by society and customers, and acquire issue-solving methods unconstrained by existing frameworks - More sophisticated human resources
Achieve more high value-added human resources and competitive remuneration levels - Acquisition of agility to create practical applications for new technologies
Develop human resources with advanced technical skills capable of driving continuous assessments of new technologies and their application in the field, and develop a knowledge base - Promotion of the accumulation and utilization of intellectual property
Promote the accumulation and utilization of quality intellectual property to achieve business structural transformation and the scaling-up of businesses - More advanced governance
Create more advanced governance to support ambitious growth plans - Optimized business portfolios
Pursue the optimal business portfolio to achieve the above and generate the maximum returns with the least capital
Based on the above, the Company started "Frontiers 2026," a medium-term management plan (2024-2026) formulated as a three-year plan starting from April 2024. In addition to linking various investments and relationships built with customers during the previous medium-term management plan to results, we will also create reasons for us to continue being the company of choice for markets and customers in the future, through differentiation and concentration to establish clear superiority, based on the results achieved to date as the first stage of realizing our Group Vision 2032.
