NEC Solution Innovators, Ltd. is a major systems integrator responsible for systems development and operations and maintenance within NEC Group, with a headcount of just over 12,000. Recent times have seen a major change underway in the SI field, with a shift away from companies developing and operating first-party systems individually towards an approach in which they design and operate systems infrastructure combining multiple cloud systems. As the business environment of NEC Solution Innovators changes dramatically, the company is faced with the need to develop leaders among its section and department directors who can sketch out and execute business strategies that set their sights not only on established approaches from the past, but also on future changes.
Amid this context, ABeam Consulting began supporting NEC Solution Innovators’ leadership development in September 2024. Taking screenings for promotions as an opportunity to develop leadership, ABeam performed development support that promote a transformation in attitudes among participants, beginning with acquisition and improvement of business strategy planning skills, so that section and department directors could demonstrate leadership that responded to environmental changes.
