Global Partners Technology Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Shunsuke Sakamoto; abbreviated as GPTech) supports the 'April Dream' initiative, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of the 'Public and Social Interest Unit' of Global Partners Technology Co., Ltd.
Through personnel changes, you suddenly found yourself in charge of DX for your local government. Even though you don't know where to start, there is no one to consult and no know-how to refer to within the office. Many people have surely had this experience. This situation is not the responsibility of the individual in charge. The lack of 'system' and 'know-how' as an organization is a structural issue behind the slow progress of local government DX.
Our GPTech Public and Social Interest Unit faces this issue head-on, and we announce our dream: to ensure that local government DX officers are never left alone.
Why does local government DX fail? The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' DX promotion plan outlines the necessary systems, digital talent development, and key initiatives. However, the gap between advanced and lagging municipalities is widening. Many municipalities have established departments that do not function well. The root of this problem is the lack of 'IT governance.'
IT governance is a mechanism for an organization to correctly control IT to achieve its goals. Even if excellent systems are introduced, without a system to manage, evaluate, and improve them across the entire organization, IT investment will not lead to results. Small and medium-sized municipalities, in particular, lack the talent, know-how, and time to build such systems.
Our dream is to provide services necessary for strengthening IT governance to achieve the following: 1. Create an environment where DX officers do not have to bear the burden alone. 2. Build a system where local governments can autonomously promote DX. 3. Spread the importance of IT governance to stakeholders, including system vendors and consulting firms, to realize meaningful digitalization for citizens.
We offer services such as: 1. IT Governance Maturity Assessment (Simplified version is free). 2. PMO Organization Building and Operation Support. Our greatest strength is our members who come from local government backgrounds, allowing us to provide practical support based on real-world experience.
