[Overview] Many companies implement various measures for innovation, such as thorough customer interviews, setting up 'dejima' (satellite) organizations, and introducing stage-gate processes. However, the more they diligently practice these standard methods, the more they end up with incremental ideas that are extensions of existing businesses. Do you fall into the dilemma of moving further away from the "non-continuous growth" or "10-billion-yen scale" businesses that management expects?

This webinar delves into the root causes of why these efforts do not lead to significant results. We will unzip common challenges such as lack of understanding of innovation management/creation processes and asymmetry between the roles of management and the frontline, offering hints to bridge this deep gap.

Examples of content: - Strategic design premised on "10-billion-yen business": Based on insights from supporting over 300 major domestic companies and creating numerous businesses with sales of 10 billion yen or more, we explain how to design highly scalable business strategies that incorporate growth options such as M&A and large-scale investment from the initial stage. - Execution support including management decision-making: Designing investment/exit criteria and milestones to involve management, not just generating ideas. Using objective data for highly convincing business plans—impossible with generative AI based only on public information—to support speedy decision-making and execution.

This will be a one-hour session providing Astamuse's unique solutions and thinking, distinct from general consulting or brainstorming. We look forward to the participation of everyone who wants to create next-generation businesses with high-probability strategies utilizing their company's strengths and data.

[Recommended For] - Management and Corporate Planning: Those on a mission for company-wide portfolio transformation or seeking objective, convincing evidence for innovation investment. - Innovation Department Heads/Staff: Those who have tried various measures but feel stuck with small ideas or cannot present business plans/market data to persuade management. - R&D Departments: Those wanting to link excellent technologies and patents to future core revenue or who cannot see a concrete path for application development after technology inventory.
