Revitalizing Centenarian Companies: A Seminar in Kyoto

In an era where longevity is no longer a guarantee for companies, especially those that have stood the test of time for a century or more, the stakes have become higher than ever. On June 10, 2025, from 18:30 to 20:00, Imajina Inc., a consulting firm specializing in organizational enhancement, will convene a seminar explicitly tailored for business owners in Kyoto. This seminar seeks to address the urgent necessity for these long-established firms to transition from mere survival to a comprehensive revamping of their operational strategies.

The Increasing Rate of Bankruptcies Among Centenarian Firms

Recent trends indicate a troubling rise in bankruptcies among companies that boast over a hundred years of history, especially in regions like Kyoto. According to a survey by Teikoku Databank, the odds of a company making it past the century mark is a mere 0.03%. This statistic underscores a sobering reality; even establishments with deep-rooted history and tradition find it challenging to adapt to the rapid changes in the business landscape.

Identifying the Causes of Failure

The same Teikoku Databank survey identified key reasons for the downfall of these centenarian entities: 1) Inadequate responsiveness to evolving market demands, 2) Failed succession planning, and 3) Stagnant talent development. Understanding these challenges is crucial for any company aiming to transition effectively into the modern business environment.
