Unlocking the Secrets Behind DX Challenges in Japanese Companies

The Real Root Causes of Limited DX Success

Many organizations struggle to see significant outcomes from their DX efforts not due to the tools or plans they employ, but rather the people and organizational structures that harness these tools. This seminar aims to provide essential insights into how to cultivate the right transformative talent roles—business architects, business analysts, and more—through effective organizational design and human resource practices.

Participants will learn how to overcome deeply rooted cultural barriers within Japanese organizations and pivot towards self-sustaining structures capable of embracing transformation effectively. This training expands on materials presented at the SAP Transformation Excellence Tour Tokyo on June 10, 2026.
