EVeM to Provide Management Training to Sharp

EVeM Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Sadayasu Nagamura; hereinafter "EVeM"), a provider of management support services, has begun providing management training to approximately 300 managers at Sharp Corporation (Headquarters: Osaka-shi, Osaka; hereinafter "Sharp").

Background of Implementation

Amidst significant societal changes such as the acceleration of the declining birthrate and aging population, and the advent of AI, Sharp formulated its new corporate slogan "Half a Step Ahead of People's Wishes." in 2025 and is working to further permeate its brand value. To embody this slogan throughout the organization in the future, it is crucial for managers who lead members on the front lines to translate this philosophy into their daily management actions.

In particular, approximately 300 managers with less than a few years of experience after their promotion to manager are at the core of front-line organizational operations. As they gained experience as managers, Sharp was seeking an opportunity to systematically relearn the skills necessary for member development and team management, and to share them as a common language.

In this training, starting with the slogan "Half a Step Ahead of People's Wishes.", a workshop was conducted to verbalize Sharp's unique approach to management. In addition, through group training based on EVeM's proprietary "100 Management Patterns," we are supporting the acquisition of concrete skills that can be practiced in daily management situations.

Through this, EVeM is fully supporting Sharp's goal of connecting the values it cherishes to the actions of its management layer and improving the overall management capabilities of the organization.

Background of Implementation

Our company is currently in a stage of renewed growth for leapfrogging from fiscal year 2028 onwards, following a phase of structural reform. In the medium-term management plan formulated in 2025, we have positioned "Building a Foundation for Growth" that supports sustainable business expansion as an important theme, and have set forth "Expanding Investment in People" as its core.

To achieve renewed growth, it is essential to strongly support employee development and challenges, and to maximize each individual's potential. As part of these initiatives, we have been considering measures that would contribute to "Improving Organizational Strength."

Deciding Factor for Implementation

We believe that improving organizational strength requires not only enhancing individual skills but also strengthening management capabilities that bring them together and maximize them as a team, namely, strengthening the middle management layer.

Our company formulated a new corporate slogan in 2025, and strengthening practical skills on the front lines is indispensable for its embodiment.

Among these, we felt great value in the simple and highly reproducible framework of "Management Patterns," which is easy to understand and put into practice, especially for those with less management experience, and decided to implement this training.

Future Expectations

By permeating "Management Patterns" throughout the organization through this training, we expect to improve the performance of each team, as well as to form a common language and common foundation among managers.

We believe this will create collaboration and synergy across departments, further enhancing the sense of unity and execution power of the entire organization.

Our company will continue to aim to be a company that continues to create attractive products and services befitting a stage of leapfrogging through the evolution of human resources and organizations.

Representative's Comment, EVeM Inc.

I feel that Sharp's slogan "Half a Step Ahead of People's Wishes." embodies deep imagination towards customers and members, an exciting spirit of inquiry, and sincerity that stays close to people. By translating this slogan into the daily management actions of the management layer and embodying it throughout the organization, Sharp, a leading company in Japan, will lead the new era. We at EVeM will provide full support using management patterns.
