DX Strategy that the Group Aims to Realize

DX strategy story that the Group aims to realize

To share a common definition and understanding of the term DX as the Group, we have established a DX strategy story as below and used it as a guide for our DX strategy.

  • The DX will free customers, employees and staff from hassles (business innovation/digital channel) and provide easy access to information that will inspire them to take a next action (data utilization), so that people can continue to provide new value to the local communities through activities that are unique to them.
  • To this end, we will work to strengthen our DX infrastructure, including developing a digitally connected environment (developing an environment for paperless, cloud, etc.) and utilizing and transforming digital skills and mindsets (management’s commitment and human resources; shifting our focus on human resources from quantity to quality) and leverage various knowledge and open networks (collaborations with other companies and incorporation of technologies) accumulated in the Group to provide DX support to corporate customers and local regions.

We have broken down the DX strategy into five areas and clearly define what we aim for and key measures for each area.
