Beyondge and GIX Join Forces for DIGITAL BOOST

Beyondge, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, known for its expertise in startups and enterprise growth hacks, has announced a collaboration with GIX, a company also based in Tokyo, to launch a new service titled DIGITAL BOOST. This service aims to comprehensively assist large enterprises in developing their own in-house AI and digital talent, addressing a growing need in the market.

The Need for In-House AI Talent

As digital transformation (DX) accelerates and AI utilization becomes a critical management issue, the demand for in-house AI and digital talent is increasing. However, many organizations are facing significant challenges: they report a shortage of AI professionals and are unsure about how to effectively cultivate digital talent. For large corporations, even if they manage to attract competent AI talent, these individuals often struggle to integrate within existing evaluation systems and corporate cultures, leading to retention issues. This situation is exacerbated when companies rely on external partners to meet their talent needs, resulting in increased costs and a failure to accumulate knowledge internally. These structural challenges can significantly impede sustainable growth, highlighting the necessity for companies to internalize their talent and build a self-sustaining digital organization.

Overview of DIGITAL BOOST

DIGITAL BOOST is designed to support companies in creating a self-sustaining digital organization by focusing on four key areas:

1. Internalization Strategy Development: Crafting a digital talent strategy and roadmap that aligns with corporate management strategies.
2. Human Resource Systems and Culture Design: Establishing evaluation systems, compensation structures, and role definitions that allow digital talent to thrive.
3. Recruitment Strategy, Branding, and Operational Support: Providing comprehensive support from identifying target talent to executing recruitment activities.
4. Education and Reskilling Support: Designing educational frameworks that promote onboarding and long-term skill acquisition.

The service leverages GIX's expertise in analytics and data-informed management, along with Beyondge's extensive experience in startup creation, enterprise growth hacks, and M&A support. This unique blend allows for end-to-end support from strategic planning and implementation to cultural transformation within organizations. This approach goes beyond mere training or recruitment assistance, enabling support for internalization through the triad of talent, systems, and organizational culture.

Insights from CEOs of GIX and Beyondge

GIX's CEO, Tomohiro Amino, remarks that while many companies embrace technology, the true challenge lies within the human and organizational aspects. He emphasizes that hiring skilled AI and digital professionals is futile unless there is a corresponding evolution in the culture and systems of the organization. The DIGITAL BOOST program is designed to support a tangible transformation, not merely a tactical overhaul.

On the other hand, Beyondge's CEO, Takashi Nogami, highlighted the critical importance of reducing dependence on external resources as companies navigate digital transformation. He points out that DIGITAL BOOST is instrumental for companies looking to build organizational capabilities that allow AI and digital talent to significantly contribute to long-term business objectives.

Taking the First Step Toward Internalization

The first step towards building an internal digital talent force begins with understanding current conditions and defining a vision for the future. GIX has partnered with Beyondge to support multiple companies with recruitment, training, organizational design, and system setup for AI and digital talent. By substantiating knowledge into DIGITAL BOOST, they recommend starting with a thorough evaluation of the corporate status quo and crafting an ideal vision.
