イノベーションを様々な角度から
素晴らしい製品や技術の価値を必要な人にきちんと届けるために必要なことは、オープンでフェアな目線を持って相手を知ること、事実を認識すること。私は、これらはイノベーションの基本と思っています。
組織内で頭を抱えている問題を、Design thinkingの考え方をベースにユーザーの目線で見つめ直すことで初めてツールやソリューションの価値が活きてきます。その問題解決の活動そのものは、参加する人にとっても価値があると信じています。過程の中で、自分自身に新しい可能性すら見出すことが出来るのですから。
また、事実を認識するための、データに基づく論理的なビジネスの問題解決ソリューションもご提供しています。
