Lumission Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) has launched a partnership program for its executive support service, 'President's Double,' as an affiliation system for Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) consulting firms.
This system provides a mechanism for SME consulting firms to introduce management support services to their client companies and executives. Through this, we aim to support the resolution of client issues while simultaneously enhancing the added value of SME consulting firms and building a business model that leads to the creation of new revenue opportunities. https://lumission.world/jp/
'Management Pains' Brought to SME Consulting Firms
In addition to consultations on business analysis, business planning, and subsidy support, SME consulting firms are increasingly receiving inquiries from client companies about execution and organizational issues.
For example, management consultations like: ✅ The business strategy is organized, but execution is not progressing. ✅ Utilizing subsidies does not lead to sales improvement. ✅ The organization is person-dependent, and growth has stalled. ✅ Facing challenges in talent acquisition and retention. ✅ Even with a business plan, the frontline staff doesn't take action.
However, the specialty of SME consulting firms is 'business analysis and strategy organization,' and it can be difficult to provide in-depth support that covers sales design, organizational structuring, and daily operational improvements.
As a result, many firms feel challenged by: ✅ Being unable to provide sufficient support for client consultations. ✅ Strategy formulation not leading to execution. ✅ Improvement proposals ending up being temporary.
This new partner program was designed to solve this problem.
A New Support Model to Enhance the Added Value of SME Consulting Firms
In the SME support industry in recent years, there has been a demand for value provision beyond simple analysis, due to: ✅ Price competition in subsidy and business plan support. ✅ Difficulty in differentiation with strategy formulation alone. ✅ Expanding needs for execution support.
Therefore, Lumission proposes a new model that enhances the added value of SME consulting firms by combining management support with strategy organization.
By getting involved in the client's management issues, it can potentially lead to: ✅ Support for sales and profit improvement. ✅ Support for organizational structuring and systemization. ✅ Improvement in execution capabilities. ✅ Building continuous relationships. ✅ Creation of new revenue opportunities.
The Concept of 'Five-Way-Win Management'
Our company places 'Five-Way-Win Management' at the core of its management philosophy, which is:
● Good for the company ● Good for the employees ● Good for the customers ● Good for society ● Good for the next generation
This is the idea of aiming for a management style where not just a few companies profit, but everyone involved achieves a win-win situation. We believe that when these five parties—company, employees, customers, society, and the next generation—all benefit, the company can grow sustainably.
This partner program is also designed based on this concept of 'Five-Way-Win Management.'
From One-Off Tasks to Continuous Relationships
For many SME consulting firms, a business model centered on:
● Subsidy application support ● Business plan creation ● Spot consulting
is common.
However, this structure creates problems such as: ● Client relationships tend to be short-term. ● Proposal contents do not easily permeate to execution. ● It does not easily lead to continuous revenue.
A Business That Builds Long-Term Relationships with Customers
Our company aims to build a business that is not about selling a single service but is involved in the customer's management itself for the long term.
For that, it is important for specialized companies such as:
● SME consulting firms ● Tax accounting firms ● Social insurance labor consulting firms ● Financial institutions ● Management consulting companies
to collaborate as partners.
In this mechanism, a win-win relationship is born where:
● Customers can receive support from strategy to execution. ● Partner companies can maximize their expertise. ● Long-term relationships are built.
Examples of Partner Utilization with SME Consulting Firms
SME consulting firms may receive consultations from their clients like the following:
✅ We have a strategy, but execution is not progressing. ✅ We want to systemize the organization. ✅ We want to turn subsidies into sales. ✅ We want to organize the criteria for management decisions.
By introducing 'President's Double' in response to such consultations, it becomes possible to support the resolution of the client's management issues.
This mechanism creates new value such as:
✅ Support for sales and profit improvement. ✅ Organizational improvement and systemization. ✅ Improvement in customer satisfaction.
Benefits for SME Consulting Firms
This partner program is expected to offer the following benefits:
✅ Improved customer satisfaction: Able to respond not only to strategy formulation but also to execution support. ✅ Building continuous relationships: Build long-term relationships through management companionship support. ✅ Creation of new revenue opportunities: Existing customers
