Granvalley's Latest Publication: Next-Generation DX

Granvalley Inc., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the release of its new book titled "Next-Generation DX Design – Driving Business Innovation with Generative AI," scheduled for publication on July 16, 2025. This book, priced at 2,090 yen (including tax), is part of a series that continues the dialogue on data-driven management. It follows previous works, including "The Unpleasant Truth of Data-Driven Management" and "The Bible of Data-Driven Management Practice."

The latest edition comes at a critical time as businesses are urged to adopt digital transformation (DX) practices. However, many companies are still struggling to effectively utilize data, hindering their ability to fully realize the benefits of DX. With the increasing shortage of skilled personnel in the IT sector, the emergence of generative AI presents both challenges and opportunities for traditional development and investment methods in driving DX initiatives.

Background to the Publication

The need for effective DX strategies has never been more apparent, yet many businesses find themselves unable to harness data in a meaningful way. Granvalley has been at the forefront of advocating for a data-driven approach to business management. In their first publication, they introduced the concept of "DX that Adds Value to Management," followed by a practical guide in their second book on implementing such strategies. The new book aims to equip organizations with the necessary methodologies and insights to navigate the rapid changes in technology and workforce scarcity, enabling them to enact meaningful data analysis and realize valuable digital transformation.

Key Contents of the Book

The book synthesizes the experiences and insights of three specialists at Granvalley who propose practical approaches to achieve impactful DX affordably and efficiently. Here’s an overview:

Chapters 1 & 2: Development Methodology for Value-Driven DX

These initial chapters discuss the challenges faced in DX development projects, establishing a robust framework for success. By evaluating the issues of traditional waterfall and agile methodologies, Granvalley presents an agile-based "DX Development Methodology" and delves into the specifics of the requirement definition phase to ensure alignment with business goals.
