[Background of this Partnership]

"How to develop management and next-generation leaders" is one of the most frequently raised and urgently addressed management issues in the field of consulting. Furthermore, with the implementation of generative AI becoming a top management priority, the shortage of "personnel who can master AI and propose solutions for management" is becoming increasingly severe. With the full-scale adoption of human capital management, corporate training has shifted from being a "cost" to a "management investment," and the responsibility to demonstrate its effectiveness through business results is now being questioned.

In this environment, what is needed is an entity that seamlessly connects "the ability to set issues from a management perspective" with "the ability to actually mobilize people and organizations." Codawari, with its strength in management consulting, and Shuhaly, with its strength in human resource and organizational development, have entered into a business partnership to provide these two pillars from the same location and as one team.

[Objectives and Content of this Partnership]

This partnership will leverage the expertise of both companies as consulting firms to identify issues and organize requirements, providing programs tailored to the unique challenges of each company. A key feature is that it goes beyond simply offering off-the-shelf programs; it involves agreeing on the "goal of transformation" before designing the program. For the time being, program expansion will focus on the following themes:

- Development of Transformational Leadership

- Development of Global Leader Talent

- Development and in-house creation of Business Consultants

By combining Shuhaly's action learning-based leader development program, participants will be supported from proposal to implementation while working on actual management issues. Shuhaly will also strengthen its approach to management challenges that are difficult to solve solely through human resource development by utilizing the management consulting expertise and resources cultivated by Codawari.

[Fusion of AIX – Organizational Transformation through Co-creation of AI and Humans]

Both companies' programs incorporate the perspective of AIX (AI Transformation: initiatives to transform the very nature of work, organizations, and human resource development through the co-creation of generative AI and humans). By having participants tackle management issues while utilizing AI, the focus is on practical application in the field to ensure that it goes beyond "participant learning" and actually mobilizes the organization.
