"We must change our sales methods." But many companies may face challenges in changing familiar ways of working on the front lines, or not knowing how to change them. Is that not the case?

In this seminar, based on actual examples of value provision transformation undertaken by the Tokyo Gas Group, three parties—corporate representatives, Great RIVER, and specialized personnel—will discuss the process of organizational change, starting from correctly re-evaluating challenges, from their respective standpoints.

Rather than abstract theories of transformation, we will deliver practical realities at the operational level: how to organize problem awareness within the organization and what specific actions are being taken to show the path to transformation.
