LTS Launches Business Architecture Talent Development Service Aligned with Digital Skill Standards Version 2.0
In a significant move to aid digital transformation (DX) across industries, LTS Corporation has announced the launch of their new service designed specifically for the development of business architecture talent. As organizations increasingly recognize the importance of effectively managing change, LTS aims to nurture the foundational and execution skills necessary for professionals driving these transformations.
This initiative responds directly to the revised Digital Skill Standards Version 2.0 (DSS Ver2.0) established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA) in Japan. The DSS Ver2.0 outlines the essential skills and roles required for successful digital transformation, reclassifying the types of business architecture professionals needed in today’s evolving landscape.
The task force on business architecture talent development, led by LTS’s Chief Strategy Officer Masaki Yamamoto, has redefined the role of business architects according to these new standards. In DSS Ver2.0, three specific roles have been identified — among which business analysts and business architects play a crucial part in facilitating large-scale transformations within organizations. These professionals act as vital coordinators among multiple stakeholders, making soft skills such as interpersonal negotiation incredibly important.
The complexities of these roles cannot be mastered through traditional classroom training alone. While knowledge can be acquired through study, skills and critical thinking must be honed through practical experience, and the right mindset and behavior come directly from real-world engagement. Recognizing this, LTS has implemented a hands-on developmental support program that includes feedback driven by insights accumulated from practitioners who are already active in the field.
LTS's development program is structured in stages, methodically cultivating practical execution capabilities. It takes into account the phases and expectations of the organizations involved, as well as the learners' positions, roles, and levels of maturity. By providing tailored support based on each company's specific circumstances, LTS aims to promote sustained engagement and to create an environment conducive to achieving remarkable outcomes.
Organizations must undergo significant change to retain talent, and continuous effort is critical for generating results. Thus, the approach supports long-term development and the establishment of a solid organizational foundation. Interested parties can find more detailed information on LTS’s service page.
For over a decade, LTS has been at the forefront of tracking domestic and international trends in business analysis and business architecture. The company has successfully produced numerous consultants who excel in this domain. LTS has long recognized the pivotal role of business analysts, business architects, and business process management (BPM) as crucial components for transformation in various organizations. This commitment to operational consulting continues to empower client companies as they navigate their own transitions.
LTS’s position as a leading company in cultivating business architecture talent in Japan is reinforced by its early acknowledgment of the significance of transformative foundations within various sectors. Moving forward, LTS will leverage its expertise in corporate transformation and DX to support the establishment of organizational frameworks and the nurturing of specialist talent.
