At this time of year, when many companies announce their growth strategies in financial results and medium-term management plans, what is being questioned is the ability to refine and implement these strategies.

The Dilemma of "Capital Efficiency" and "Growth Strategy" Being Questioned
With the increasing demand for ambidextrous management, many large companies are being asked by investors to achieve both "capital efficiency" and "growth strategy." However, in every situation where growth strategies are refined and actual projects are put into motion, stakeholders are often hindered by "governance barriers" and "complexity of internal coordination," making progress difficult.
This is not a problem of individual skills but stems from a structural dilemma inherent in business investment: "mechanisms that protect existing businesses hinder new investments." The reality is that the more rationally management, corporate planning, and the front lines try to act, the harder business investment becomes.

Principles and Processes of Business Investment Proposed by 'ORBITAL'
This guide organizes the principles and processes for promoting business investment by accepting this dilemma rather than "overcoming" or "defeating" it.
Principles
Understanding (Knowing the Structure)
Correctly understand the "structural dilemma" that makes business investment difficult.
Reversal (Making it Personal)
Shift from objectively discussing the structure to recovering purpose and ambition through learning from predecessors, and becoming a "stakeholder" who acts with their own will.
Activation (Getting Started)
Make decisions while accepting the dilemma and become able to articulate them in one's own words.
Processes
Basic Structure of Business Strategy
Navigate between the three perspectives of market, competitors, and one's own company, and draw a growth story from the point where needs and scarcity overlap.
Hypothesis Cycle
Clarify what is unknown, and update hypotheses while accepting refutations and criticisms through verification.
Roles
Connect the three roles of President, Project Lead, and Program Lead, and the inevitably separate responsibilities between them, with purpose and ambition.

Comment from the Person in Charge
Katsumi Hirooka, Representative Director, TR-55 Inc.
Business strategy contains our growth story in the market, a story guided by subjectivity. However, as the constraints of existing businesses change into dependence, everyone's subjectivity is eroded. Ironically, the more leaders realize this structure and try to regain their subjectivity, the more isolated they become, and many stop before making decisions.
'ORBITAL' is not a prescription. It does not say, "This is how business investment will succeed." Instead, it was created to empathize with the loneliness of leaders who accept dilemmas and make decisions for their company's future. I would be delighted if 'ORBITAL' could be by the side of each individual who takes on a great cause in their solitude.
After engaging in marketing for Australian cosmetics Jurlique and Aesop at a trading company, he participated in the launch of Japan's first GPS golf navigation business. Subsequently, he was involved in media business launches, investments in overseas startups, and M&A at a major internet company, before joining Adinnovation Inc. As Director and CFO, he was involved in two rounds of fundraising, company-wide strategy, and IPO preparation. He founded the company in April 2015.
Situations Where 'ORBITAL' is Effective
'ORBITAL' is particularly useful when facing the following situations:
When it has been decided to make business investments internally, but actual investments are not progressing.
When the created business plan lacks conviction.
When you want to review past activities but cannot do so effectively.
When there is no common language for ambidextrous management within the company, and communication between stakeholders is not established.
When you cannot effectively articulate problems or discomfort.
