Qolony Launches New Consulting Brands to Support Management Reform in Two Areas: Strategy and AI Governance

Qolony Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuki Shimizu; hereinafter referred to as Qolony) has launched two new consulting brands within its Strategy & Technology Division (hereinafter referred to as Qolony S&T): "Strategy by Qolony" for management strategy consulting and "AI/Governance by Qolony" for AI and AI governance consulting, and has commenced service provision.

The two newly launched brands provide integrated support for redesigning management strategies and establishing governance, with the utilization of AI as a prerequisite. While large corporations, including listed companies, are increasingly considering AI adoption, challenges remain in connecting AI with management strategy and establishing risk management systems. Qolony S&T will support management transformation from both "strategy" and "AI/governance" perspectives.

These two brands will primarily handle the "AI Strategy" domain, which targets management, out of Qolony's three core AI consulting pillars (AI Strategy / AI PMO / AI BPR) offered company-wide, serving as a starting point for subsequent AI PMO and AI BPR (project promotion, business redesign).

Background of Launch

Advancements in technologies such as generative AI are beginning to impact corporate decision-making and business operations. As companies move beyond optimizing individual tasks to reviewing their business portfolios, sources of competitive advantage, organizational operations, human resource requirements, and risk management approaches, it is becoming increasingly difficult for executives to respond to changes solely based on decisions made within existing mid-term plans and strategic frameworks.

Meanwhile, the following issues are becoming apparent at the corporate front lines:

AI utilization is being considered ahead of sufficient integration with management strategy.

Governance and risk management, which are required concurrently with AI implementation, tend to lag behind.

There is a lack of systems capable of providing end-to-end support from strategy formulation to implementation, establishment, and in-house development.

In light of these circumstances, Qolony S&T has reorganized its support system to address the issues necessary for improving corporate value from both "strategy" and "AI/governance" perspectives, providing support from conception to implementation.

Overview of New Brands

2. AI/Governance by Qolony (AI and AI Governance Consulting Service)

Qolony S&T's Support Approach

Under its mission of "Democratizing Value Creation," Qolony has been providing AI consulting services centered on three pillars: AI Strategy, AI PMO, and AI BPR. As an implementation-oriented firm with an organization of approximately 150 people, it applies these three pillars to its own strategy formulation and on-site implementation, feeding the knowledge gained back into client support. It emphasizes support that connects management decisions with on-site implementation, without separating strategy formulation, AI utilization, and governance establishment.

With the two brands launched this time, Qolony will provide support tailored to each company's challenges, combining elements from organizing management agendas, strategy formulation, AI implementation, governance design, on-site implementation, and in-house development. In parallel, it will disseminate viewpoints on management decision-making in the AI era through its official note media, linking this with practical support.

Message from Representative Director

Yuki Shimizu, Representative Director, Qolony Inc.

Many executives, while sensing the changes brought about by AI, are limited to addressing strategy, organization, and governance individually, and have not yet delved into questioning the very premises of their management decisions. We have faced the same questions internally and have accumulated implementation experience. These two new brands are intended to share that experience directly with management and to jointly redesign decision-making itself for the AI era. We are eager to work with executives who are beginning to move to reconfigure decisions from the core of their management.

Collaboration with Note Media

Qolony S&T has launched a note media for executives titled "Pre-empt the Canary!" to continuously share viewpoints on management decision-making in the AI era.

By connecting the viewpoints presented on this media with the practical support provided by the two newly launched brands, Qolony aims to go beyond information dissemination and provide concrete support tailored to each company's management challenges.

*For details on the executive-focused note media "Pre-empt the Canary!", please refer to the separately announced release regarding the note media.
