Enhancing ERM Maturity: A Partnership Between TIS and Newton Consulting

In a significant move towards elevating enterprise risk management (ERM) maturity, TIS Corporation, a leading player in the IT services sector, has joined hands with Newton Consulting. This collaboration aims to refine the ERM framework and processes within TIS and its 59 affiliated companies. Published on August 21, 2025, TIS showcased its success story in implementing ERM structure enhancement services facilitated by Newton Consulting, based in Tokyo.

Detailed Overview of the Implementation

TIS Corporation stands as a dominant force within the TIS Intec Group, offering a spectrum of IT solutions that include systems integration, outsourcing, consulting, and cloud services. With a robust presence that spans internationally to countries like China, Thailand, the United States, Vietnam, and Singapore, TIS effectively leverages synergies across its group companies, demonstrating a commitment to borderless service delivery.

In 2021, TIS established a risk management department with the objective of boosting the group's overall risk management capabilities. Through its collaboration with Newton Consulting, TIS conducted an ERM maturity assessment. The assessment revealed key areas for improvement, such as the need for a structured ERM framework and an inclusive approach that engages top management in the development of these processes.

A Multi-Year Improvement Journey

Over the next four years, TIS embarked on a comprehensive improvement plan. The initiative began with surveys and interviews with the presidents of domestic group companies to identify and streamline essential risk management areas. This foundational work paved the way for the establishment of a unified framework, allowing each subsidiary to align with the group’s ERM objectives effectively.

Moreover, TIS revamped its training programs, introducing both in-person workshops and e-learning modules for key stakeholders, including company presidents and risk managers. By incorporating a dual approach of bottom-up and top-down strategies, the ERM framework saw marked advancements.

Beginning in 2023, TIS further enhanced knowledge sharing among its group companies through the introduction of a 'Results Presentation Conference,' fostering dialogue around best practices and insights. Following this concerted effort, an ERM maturity evaluation conducted in 2024 revealed substantial improvements across various assessment criteria.

Continuous Support and Development

The partnership with Newton Consulting extends beyond implementation. The advisory services offered include not just the establishment of a robust ERM framework but also ongoing support for operational continuity, risk assessment methodologies, and comprehensive training. With extensive expertise in risk management consulting, Newton Consulting brings valuable insights tailored to meet the evolving needs of TIS.

Future Directions

As TIS continues to strengthen its ERM capabilities, the integration of ERM practices across its overseas counterpart companies is underway. Initiatives like study sessions aimed at upper management will play a crucial role in driving a consistent understanding of risk management across all tiers of the organization.

The ongoing enhancements in TIS's ERM framework exemplify a commitment to proactive risk management, aiming for a truly resilient organization poised for future challenges. With the combination of TIS's innovative spirit and Newton Consulting's expertise, the next chapters in their collaborative journey promise to redefine standards in enterprise risk management, ensuring robust growth and sustainability in an ever-evolving IT landscape.
