We look for the root of the problem.

Together, we dig into the roots of your “work” to discover new business potential. We visualize the issues you are facing and design the program that will solve your problems.

Dialogue with input. A demo is run based on prior information. The problem is identified, and the scope of the problem is shared.

Gaining insights. Ideas are generated and possibilities are explored. The ideas are put together, and insights are visualized.

Verbalizing the challenges. Challenges are verbalized, and priorities are set. Depending on the goal, the process then divides into two paths. One path combines existing solutions to solve the problem, while the other explores new business and profit models.

Existing solutions are combined to solve the problem.

A hypothesis is developed and then tested by repeating interviews with target customers. After confirming that the issues exist, the issues and hypothesis are further clarified through feedback.

Judge. The issue is examined, and its business significance and profitability are discussed. A decision is then made on whether or not to proceed to a more concrete phase.
