We will begin offering “Heir”. Based on the know-how we have cultivated through organizational development support for over 370 companies, this service responds to concerns and needs unique to business succession.
Background of providing services specialized for organizations before and after business succession
Although Japan is a long-established company that ranks number one in the world for the number of long-established companies that have been in business for over 100 years, the number of bankruptcies in the first half of 2024 has increased by about twice as much as the same period last year, setting a record high for the first half of the year. (*)
Although they have overcome social changes and repeated disasters, they are increasingly being overwhelmed by the rapidly changing business environment of recent years.
Our company has supported many companies that have been in business for many years, with many replacing them. While valuing the traditions of long-established companies and the unbroken relationship of trust with the local community, we support the cultural changes necessary for modern management, thereby contributing to the creation of a foundation for our customers to demonstrate their full potential. Utilizing that know-how, we offer a service specializing in
organizations before and after business succession, “Culture Transformation for
We have decided to provide “Heir”. By expanding this service, we will maximize the power of long-established companies that have supported Japanese society, and ultimately lead to Japan’s regrowth.

We will solve your organization’s problems before and after business succession. From a customer Unipos helped with their culture transformation: “In order to respond to the changing business environment, we believe that a culture change is necessary because the same old ways of doing things will no longer work.” “In response to the labor shortage, we will change our culture to one that allows each person to perform to the best of their ability.” We receive feedback from people expressing their expectations for cultural change, such as “I want to become a company with an attractive culture and increase our hiring competitiveness.” However, at the same time, we hear that they feel that they are facing challenges because they lack the know-how and don’t know where to start.
-Problems that we can help resolve-
– I want to carry out a cultural change, but I don’t have the know-how or the personnel to make it happen.
– A top-down culture has been fostered by the founders, which is a factor in the inability of the workplace to adapt to the changing business environment.
– Increased turnover due to decreased engagement
– We want to increase our recruiting competitiveness in preparation for the era of severe labor shortages, but we are unable to do so.
To resolve these concerns, we will support cultural change. Companies that have actually implemented changes say, “The number of employees who speak freely and openly and takes on challenges has increased,” and “The relationship of trust between employees and the company has been strengthened, and there has been a positive impact on daily work, such as a heightened awareness of sales.” We have received feedback from job seekers saying, “When we told them at recruitment briefings that we were working on a culture change, we received a very positive response from job seekers.”
“Culture Transformation for Successor” converts these results into know-how for organizations before and after business succession.
What you can do with “Culture Change for Successor”
In order to concretely promote cultural change before and after business succession, we provide a set of *places, know-how, systems, and content*.
[Venue] Opportunity to interact with and tour companies that have achieved cultural change
You can actually see how the frontline employees of a company that continues to transform are working with enthusiasm. By seeing the reality of successful companies, we will help you come up with ideas on how to incorporate cultural change into your own company, which is difficult to grasp.
There will also be opportunities for dialogue with management personnel during the tour. You will be able to understand what your company should and should not do, and the image of your company’s culture change will become clearer.
[Know-how] Providing approaches during the culture change implementation phase *Creating a culture transformation roadmap*
We design a roadmap to create an ideal organization customized for each customer. Our experienced personnel will comprehensively plan concerns regarding culture change, points to keep in mind as you move forward, and survey design for on-site employees.
*Workshop implementation*
We will conduct a “Recommended Behavior Workshop” that uniquely systematizes our know-how for realizing cultural change. By clarifying the steps and conditions, you can clarify cultural changes that are difficult to feel, and start the project knowing in advance the pitfalls that tend to fall into.
* [System] Providing IT systems*
We offer Unipos, a company-wide participatory culture platform centered on Peer Bonus (R). “Unipos” uses the power of IT to support the process of visualizing “good behavior” that is hidden within the company and spreading it throughout the company, which is difficult to integrate manually. Prior to implementation, our staff held a briefing session to clarify the purpose and significance of use, customized for each position. We also provide an environment and mechanisms that are easy to use even if you are reluctant to use IT.
[Content] Content production that highlights cultural change According to a survey conducted by our company (*), “approximately 70% of people prioritize corporate climate and culture over conditions when deciding whether to join a company.” “Culture” has become an important element.
Because this is a region where there is a serious labor shortage, when a culture change is realized, we will support you in creating content that conveys the story and the appeal of the company that has adopted it, and disseminates it both inside and outside the company. The production will be carried out by a specialized team that has produced numerous pieces of content disseminating cultural change information on behalf of our customers. We will help you promote your company as a “company that values organizations and people” that has achieved cultural change.
