This award is positioned as a venue to propose the results of these workshops as concrete actions and plans, and to link them to future implementation.
On the day of the event, teams selected from across the country presented their proposals, focusing on how they could contribute to solving customer issues and how to enhance Shoko Chukin's organizational value, with an eye towards practical implementation.
The ideas selected in this award will be linked to the "Long-Term Strategy and Transformation Plan - SME Economic Zone: Gather, Connect, Create Value" announced on March 6, 2026, and will be sequentially utilized in future corporate transformation initiatives.
