Development history/background and features
In recent years, the environment surrounding corporate management has changed rapidly, such as the diversification of customer needs and changes in the industrial structure due to the advancement of digital technology, and the lifespan of existing businesses is becoming shorter. Under these circumstances, Japanese companies are actively working to create new businesses in order to draw up growth strategies and maintain their competitive advantage. In addition, due to the spread of the new coronavirus COVID-19, digitization and onlineization have become indispensable in business development, business model building and transformation, and the importance of “Digital
Transformation (DX)” has increased. continues to rise at an
accelerating rate.

We have developed the three pillars of the “open innovation business” in an integrated manner. Through our six-year activities since our founding, we have supported and co-created more than 15,000 new business development projects with 3,000 companies using various approaches.
Based on our experience, cases, and achievements, Relic is said to be in the VUCA era. We believe that it is essential to realize
“high-quality, high-productivity, high-death” that continues to take on challenges over the medium to long term while ensuring the quality and quantity of our business. In recent years, due to these issues and backgrounds, in addition to the conventional business development approach, we have adopted various approaches such as new business creation programs, incubation programs such as internal venture systems, and methodologies such as design thinking. An increasing number of companies are looking to accelerate their new business development and innovation creation activities.
On the other hand, many Japanese companies lack human resources with a wealth of experience in business development. “I can’t judge whether the business idea is good or bad.” “I want a more reliable idea with a higher probability of success.” There are frequent voices and issues such as “It takes too much time and cost to create a good business idea,” and the reality is that it is not easy to produce sufficient results.
In order to solve such problems, mass-produce high-quality business ideas optimized for each company in every company, and realize business concepts and business plans with a high probability of success more quickly, time machine management type idea creation service “IDEATION Cloud” is now available.
For a long time in Japan, various successful ventures, start-up companies, and new businesses have been launched through “time machine management,” which is said to be a management method that brings business models and services that have been successful overseas to Japan and develops them quickly. However, some entrepreneurs do not have the processes and know-how for quickly catching new overseas trends, discovering models that suit their company, and applying and optimizing them to increase the probability of success and
reproducibility in Japan. In many cases, it was limited to limited activities by households/entrepreneurs and companies, and although its usefulness was highly reliable, the number of companies that could actually engage in full-scale efforts was limited.
