Qolony Launches Two Innovative Consulting Brands

Qolony Inc., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the launch of two new consulting brands under its Strategy & Technology division, namely Strategy by Qolony and AI/Governance by Qolony. These brands aim to revolutionize management strategies and improve governance through the effective integration of AI technologies.

As AI adoption accelerates, particularly within large publicly listed companies, the connection between management strategies and AI implementation poses significant challenges. In response, Qolony's Strategy & Technology division is poised to support substantial organizational change through a dual focus on strategy and AI governance.

The Need for Integration

With the rapid advancement of generative AI technology, businesses face a growing need to rethink their operational and decision-making frameworks. This shift is not solely about individual process efficiencies; it extends to revising business portfolios, competitive advantages, organizational operations, talent requirements, and risk management approaches. Traditional mid-term plans and strategic frameworks often fall short in addressing these dynamic changes, resulting in difficulties for executives in navigating the evolving landscape.

Some pervasive challenges in the industry include:

• - Insufficient connection between AI utilization and overarching business strategies.
• - Delayed development of governance structures and risk management frameworks alongside AI introduction.
• - Lack of comprehensive support systems that guide implementation, embedding, and internalization following strategy formulation.

Recognizing these obstacles, Qolony's Strategy & Technology division has readapted its structure to provide holistic support that addresses necessary considerations for enhancing corporate value in both strategy and AI governance.
