Seed Planning Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshio Umeda) has launched its 'Secretariat Operation Support Service' to assist in the management of industry associations, academic societies, general incorporated associations, corporate consortiums, research groups, and municipal projects.
This service provides comprehensive support for the secretariat functions that underpin organizational operations.
## Background of the Service Launch
Secretariats that support the activities of industry associations, academic societies, research groups, and consortiums play a vital role in organizational management. However, they face a wide range of tasks, including member management, membership fee billing/payment management, inquiry handling, and the operation of general meetings and boards of directors.
On the other hand, many organizations operate with limited staff, often leading to tasks becoming concentrated on specific individuals, the risk of knowledge becoming siloed, and heavy burdens during staff handovers. Furthermore, the roles required of secretariats are expanding, such as handling online meetings and strengthening information dissemination.
In response to these conditions, Seed Planning has launched the 'Secretariat Operation Support Service' to reduce the burden of secretariat operations and strengthen operational systems, leveraging the expertise cultivated through support for government projects, industry associations, research groups, and committees.
## Features of the Secretariat Operation Support Service

It also handles routine operational tasks such as coordination with stakeholders and various administrative procedures, supporting staff burden reduction and stable organizational operations.
### Utilization of Specialized Expertise and Networks
Through its market research and consulting business, Seed Planning has conducted research and business support in diverse fields such as medical, ICT, and energy.
Leveraging this expertise and network, the service also handles coordination with experts, committee operation, report creation, and support for information dissemination.
### Information Management System by a PrivacyMark-Certified Company
