Launch of EY Learning Masters in Japan

On October 1, 2026, EY Learning Masters Co., a new entity formed from the merger of Learning Masters Inc. (LMI) with EY Strategy and Consulting Co. (EYSC), officially opens its doors in Japan. This development marks a significant shift in how corporate training and development services are offered, as it integrates over 35 years of experience from LMI with EY's rich knowledge of organizational and workforce transformation.

A Strategic Initiative

The establishment of EY Learning Masters aims to leverage the combined strengths of EYSC and LMI to enhance training and development services for organizations in Japan. EYSC intends to support the transformation of corporate human capital development by establishing a robust service framework that draws on LMI's proven track record of talent development across more than 1,000 corporate clients.

Moreover, with the rollout of Managed Learning Services (MLS) tailored for the Japanese market, EY Learning Masters seeks to tackle various challenges within corporate talent development, delivering comprehensive solutions that go beyond traditional training approaches.

Comprehensive Support for Corporate Training

EY Learning Masters promises to provide an all-inclusive support system for corporate training that encompasses everything from formulating talent development strategies to planning, implementing, and evaluating training programs. Their services are designed to aid organizations in adapting to the changing landscape of skill requirements and supporting the cultivation of human capital management.

By incorporating insights from EY’s consulting expertise with LMI's hands-on training experience, the company will facilitate effective training management, impact measurement, and the long-term sustainability of skills developed through training initiatives.

Focus on Middle Management

One of the key aspects of their training philosophy is to focus on enhancing the capabilities of middle management. As the bridge between executive leadership and operational staff, this layer of management plays a crucial role in driving organizational change. Programs offered will emphasize management and leadership development, improved sales and marketing skills, critical thinking, execution abilities, and resilience training. This focus is aimed at bridging the gap between corporate objectives and current capabilities, fostering not only personal growth but also elevating overall organizational capacity.

Event to Commemorate the Launch

A milestone event will be held on November 11, 2026, to celebrate the official launch of MLS in Japan. This event will gather industry experts and human capital leaders from various enterprises to deliberate on the future of talent development and organizational change in the AI era. Topics will include strategies for effective middle management development and aligning learning objectives with corporate growth strategies.

The Vision Ahead

Shinichiro Uzawa, the CEO of EY Learning Masters, shared his thoughts on the urgency of reskilling in response to AI advancements. Many employees face the risk of their skills becoming outdated, necessitating that companies provide novel development opportunities to guide them toward new roles and working methods.

Uzawa expresses optimism about the potential synergy between EY’s global people consulting strategies and LMI's historical expertise in Japan’s talent development sector, stating that this collaboration will create new value in human capital development.
