1. Overview
The 'Public-Private Collaboration Project Support Program,' promoted by SME Support, Japan, is a support system designed to solve advanced and complex management challenges faced by mid-sized and small enterprises that drive regional economies, thereby encouraging their dramatic growth.
Under this system, a 'Professional Private Corporation' plays a central role in providing hands-on support to target companies, possessing practical support experience, specialized knowledge, and extensive know-how and resources. Our company's consulting achievements to date and expertise in supporting the growth of mid-sized and small enterprises were highly evaluated, leading to our registration as a Professional Private Corporation.
2. Features of Support Provided by Layers Consulting
As a Japan-originated consulting firm, our company has leveraged the strength of its independent capital to provide consulting from a truly client-first perspective. Through this program, we will offer practical hands-on support in the following areas:
* **Business Strategy Formulation and Implementation Support**: From formulating and implementing medium- to long-term management plans, business strategies, new business development, alliance and M&A strategies, to developing roadmaps for global expansion and establishing local foundations, we plan and execute strategies for discontinuous growth.
* **DX (Digital Transformation) Promotion**: We strongly promote DX that takes root on-site, from company-wide business process reforms to the introduction of the latest digital technologies (AI and data utilization) and the overhaul of IT infrastructure.
* **Strengthening Organizational, HR, and Management Foundations**: We support the creation of a solid management foundation, including designing management indicators (KPIs) to support rapid growth, developing next-generation leaders, and transforming into agile organizations.
* **BPO (Business Process Outsourcing)**: Amid a declining working population, we can also provide BPO (outsourcing of operations) services to ensure the continuity and efficiency of management tasks such as accounting and human resources for mid-sized and small enterprises. By optimizing costs and improving quality through BPO, as well as standardization and automation, it is possible to reallocate management resources to strategic and specialized operations. We provide consistent support from transition to establishment and operational improvement based on KPIs/SLAs.
3. Future Outlook
Sustainable growth of the Japanese economy is indispensable for accelerating the growth of mid-sized and small enterprises, which are the core of regional economies.
As a 'Professional Private Corporation,' our company will contribute to realizing transformation and dramatically improving corporate value by working alongside the highly motivated management of mid-sized and small enterprises.
