Connecting leadership with operations to turn change into action.
Shigeo Kagami offers business transformation advisory services addressing six challenges faced by executives and DX leaders. Drawing on experience in global IT companies and Japanese operating companies, he works alongside you from strategy through organizational and operational design to communicating with leadership.
Six services, through a before-and-after lens.
Clarify which operations and organizational structures need to change before selecting technology.
You have invested in expensive SaaS and AI, but neither operations nor the organization has changed.
Separate digital tools (D) from transformation (X). Start with what needs to change and work backward. Choose the tools last.
Build the business and IT foundations that keep new initiatives moving.
A security incident or a governance gap emerges during a new initiative, bringing everything to a halt.
Build the foundations through “defensive DX” first, so growth and innovation can keep moving.
Move beyond distributing AI licenses to designing how people use AI and delegate work to it.
Only a small group uses the licenses you have distributed. Rules on what can be entered into AI are unclear.
Design rules for different levels of user proficiency and define what you can delegate to AI as a direct report. Enable both results and safe use.
Evaluate estimates and proposals so your organization can make its own investment decisions.
You cannot judge whether an estimate is reasonable and find yourself dependent on a single vendor.
Assess proposals with the perspective gained on the vendor side at AWS, VMware, and EMC. Build the ability to make investment decisions in your own business terms.
Turn activity reports into explanations that help leaders make decisions.
Reports stop at listing completed activities, only to be met with: “So, how much profit will this generate?”
Translate DX investment into business terms as the accumulation of trust as an asset, and present it in a form that enables board decisions.
Define an approach to people management for the AI era that combines data-driven decisions with a human touch.
You are unsure how to manage and develop people in the AI era.
Define a new people management model through AX, enabling you to combine data-driven management with a human touch.
Share your current business challenges, the changes you want to achieve, and what you have tried so far. We will clarify the scope and approach to support around your needs.
More than a tool vendor.
A partner who shares responsibility for transformation.
