Exploring Internal Side Jobs: An Online Seminar with Denso

On September 25, 2025, from 18:30 to 20:00, the innovative side job matching service, lotsful, operated by Persol Innovation Inc., will host its second online seminar titled “The Secrets Behind Internal Side Jobs.” This event aims to delve into the fascinating world of corporate side jobs, focusing on Denso Corporation's unique approach to fostering digital transformation (DX) talent through their initiative called the “Digital Borderless Challenge.”

The global business landscape continues to evolve, and with it, the need for organizations to enhance human capital management. Companies are increasingly looking to implement internal side job systems that promote individual employee engagement and skill development, while also advancing organizational culture. However, many companies face challenges in tailoring internal job frameworks to their needs and identifying suitable projects for these roles. Through the previous well-received installment of this seminar series, attendees gained insights into effective strategies; now, we take a closer look at Denso's internal side job initiative, which empowers employees to apply their IT and digital skills to cross-departmental challenges.
