Omon Shuu Takes the Helm as Chairman of JCCA
In a significant leadership shift, Omon Shuu, the President and Executive Officer of Pacific Consultants Co., Ltd., has been appointed as the new chairman of the Japan Construction Consultants Association (JCCA). This announcement was made during the 2025 fiscal year’s regular general meeting and extraordinary board of directors' meeting, held on May 29, 2025. This role reflects increasing challenges in the construction consulting sector, and Omon's vision will guide the association towards more robust contributions to society.
A Timely Shift
Given the recent intensification of disasters, infrastructure aging, and geopolitical risks, the construction consultancy field is evolving rapidly. Omon emphasized in his inaugural speech that the industry is now tasked not only with research and design but also with critical areas like disaster prevention, recovery support, and promoting carbon neutrality. These responsibilities highlight the need for a change in approach and the adoption of innovative technologies such as Digital Transformation (DX) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). He also pointed out the necessity for creating environments that can harness diverse talents through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I).
As chairman, Omon is committed to driving initiatives that improve the overall appeal and functionality of the construction consulting industry. There is a shared intent among members of JCCA to address pressing social issues while enhancing organizational capabilities through systemic improvements and workplace reforms.
