Next Level Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku, Tokyo; Representative: Yuji Kawahara) has launched the **Management Partner Assistant (EPA) business**, a new service to support executive decision-making, in April 2026. Previously, 'secretaries' typically remained in auxiliary roles such as schedule management and administrative tasks. However, with the increasing sophistication of management, the need for support in decision-making has grown. The Management Partner Assistant (EPA) was born from this background. It will be trained and introduced as a 'next-generation secretary' capable of observation, judgment, and prediction, accompanying management. This business aims to provide new human resources that enhance corporate value by systematizing hospitality as a reproducible skill. Moving forward, we aim to refresh the concept of secretaries and promote the creation of a market for them as professional roles involved in management.
**Business Philosophy**
━ Transforming Hospitality into a Career ━
This business aims to **elevate 'support capabilities' from mere auxiliary tasks into specialized skills that enhance corporate value**. We establish hospitality, including trust, courtesy, and sincerity, as a reproducible 'career' and train individuals to directly contribute to corporate growth.
**Background of the Business Lead**
This business was launched by a lead with the following background:
・Transferred from a reception role at a cram school to a classroom manager, gaining experience in FC management.
(Engaged in education and training for approximately 10 years)
・Served as a secretary to a Member of the House of Representatives (with experience as a Minister and Vice-Minister), gaining experience in policy, government offices, and protocol.
・Served as executive assistant to the Chairman at Next Level Holdings Inc., engaged in internal coordination, external negotiations, client management, and program operation.
Through these experiences, the **essential value of a secretary in 'trust-based environments' has been systematized**.
**Differences from Traditional Secretaries**
Traditional secretarial work faces the following challenges:
・Suitability and training are often person-dependent.
・There are 'invisible inefficiencies' that reduce management productivity.
・Information organization and provision of decision-making materials are insufficient.
・Tasks tend to be biased towards administrative work.
As a result, management is unable to dedicate time to the tasks they should be focusing on.
**Challenges Faced by Modern Corporations**
Structures that slow down management decision-making:
・Ambiguous decision-making after meetings.
・Inconsistency in employee actions.
・Disorganized and fragmented information.
・Inconsistent external impression and communication.
And so on.
EPAs will take on a **new role that structurally addresses** these challenges.
**Value Provided by EPA**
EPAs go beyond traditional secretarial roles and provide the following functions:
・Designing an environment where executives can concentrate on their core business.
・The 'power to organize' that suppresses confusion between departments.
・Visualizing trust, dignity, and courtesy, and converting them into brand value.
・Not just task assistance, but observation, judgment, and prediction.
