Kazaotoya Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Sho Yokoyama) has begun trial provision of its new service, "Kazaotoya Data Management Certification®," which combines training and an understanding check test.
This service is an integrated "training + certification" program designed to prevent the "hollowing out of data utilization" that many companies face and to establish practical data management within organizations.
It addresses corporate challenges like "We understand the importance of data management, but don't know where to start," through a cycle of systematic input (training) and objective evaluation (certification).
By measuring "trainee comprehension data" beyond traditional classroom learning, it promotes human resource development to support corporate data utilization.
Supervised by "yuzutas0" (@yuzutas0), our representative director and author of 'Data Management in 30 Minutes.' The book has surpassed 340 Amazon customer reviews and supports data management learning at various companies in Japan.
■ What is "Kazaotoya Data Management Certification®"?
"Data Management Certification®" is an educational solution for promoting and popularizing data management, setting "lecture-style training" aimed at acquiring basic knowledge and a "certification exam" to objectively measure that understanding.
Development Background
Amidst the urgent need for AI utilization and DX promotion, the importance of data management is increasing, but not many companies have introduced systematic education yet.
This service was developed with the aim of popularizing data management and making it a common language within organizations. By establishing "fundamental knowledge that forms the basis of data utilization," it helps organizations collectively share the basics of data management, which can often be ambiguous, and supports a smooth transition to the next step.
Service Features and Introduction Benefits
1. Comprehensive Support for Data Management Implementation
It supports the organizational implementation of data management in a wide range of scenarios, such as:
New hires/Young talent development: Measuring basic skill acquisition before assignment
Management/Leadership層: Fostering a common language for commanding data strategy
DX/AI projects: Promoting data preparation as a prerequisite for tool introduction
Reskilling support: Facilitating skill retention when transitioning from different professions
2. Ease of Introduction and Operation
As it is entirely online, it can be taken and tested from anywhere in Japan.
It also supports bulk introduction for companies.
About the Training
The data management training provided by Kazaotoya is a comprehensive program that goes beyond merely mastering tool operations, envisioning "data preparation, acquisition, and processing," "continuous operation and maintenance," and even "establishing a data utilization culture within the organization," which are upstream processes for data analysis and AI utilization.
1. Fundamentally Solving "Not Enough Data or Unusable Data"
General data analysis training often assumes "well-structured data," but in practice, the biggest obstacles are issues like "necessary data not being input" or "formats and items being inconsistent, making aggregation impossible."
This training covers "data management" in general, which involves stably acquiring, storing, processing, and providing data, thereby achieving improved foundational data quality.
2. Covering "Four Elements" to Support Organizational Embedding
It systematically covers the necessary elements to ensure data management does not end as a temporary measure but becomes embedded as an organizational culture.
Literacy (Human Resources): Front-line employees understand the importance of data and share a common language
Process (Operations): Data input and management are seamlessly integrated into daily business flows
Rules (Control): Standardized operational norms that maintain quality regardless of who handles them
System (Infrastructure): Optimized IT tools and infrastructure to efficiently support and utilize these
3. Explaining "in a Way that Resonates with the Field" Using Excel as a Common Language
Abstract concepts of data management are explained by likening them to everyday office work or class reports using "Excel," which everyone uses.
Intuitive understanding through familiar analogies: How data is handled in full-scale IT systems and data infrastructure is explained simply by likening it to familiar "data management in Excel." This allows even trainees without specialized technical knowledge to intuitively grasp the essence and basic etiquette of data management.
Bridging the gap between business and IT departments: By being able to perceive on-site Excel work and advanced IT systems as continuous, communication barriers caused by specialized terminology are removed. It facilitates knowledge transfer between the "business department" responsible for practical work and the "IT department" supporting the infrastructure, promoting smooth organizational collaboration.
About the Certification
The certification (comprehension check test) is available in the following four formats depending on the purpose.
Depending on corporate challenges and development policies.
