Dentsu Research Institute’s New Solution for Local Governments

On April 8, 2026, the Dentsu Research Institute will officially launch a new solution called minnect AI-BPR. This innovative tool is designed to assist local governments in their digital transformation (DX) and business process re-engineering (BPR) efforts by leveraging generative AI technology. By integrating its specialized knowledge of public administration with AI-driven data analysis, Dentsu aims to provide a comprehensive solution that identifies clear action points for municipalities.

Background of minnect AI-BPR

As local governments face increasing personnel shortages and the growing complexity of administrative tasks, the acceleration of DX is more crucial than ever. However, individual initiatives related to BPR and DX often become fragmented, leading to unclear priorities and insufficient problem identification within each municipality. Many local governments find themselves at a crossroads, struggling to determine where to begin their transformation journey.

In response to these challenges, the Dentsu Research Institute developed minnect AI-BPR with a focus on analyzing existing municipal documents using AI to quickly reveal crucial starting points for DX and BPR initiatives.

Service Overview and Features

The minnect AI-BPR service is built upon two main service offerings:

1. DX Diagnosis
By analyzing existing municipal documents such as business activity listings, workload surveys, and information systems ledgers, this service identifies issues, key points, and actionable recommendations without the need for new surveys. Key benefits include:
- Diagnosis can be conducted simply by submitting existing documents
- Diagnostic reports available in as little as five business days
- Organized insights to propel DX initiative discussions
- Cost-effective solutions through the utilization of generative AI

2. Review of Analog Regulations
This service examines vast numbers of legal texts, such as ordinances and regulations, through generative AI, extracting potential analog regulations that conflict with digital principles. This facilitates:
- Handling thousands to tens of thousands of legal texts
- High-accuracy identification of applicable regulations based on text context
- Support in creating new legislative proposals and providing essential materials for reform discussions

Future Developments

Moving forward, Dentsu Research Institute plans to further expand the service offerings within minnect AI-BPR. This solution will serve as an entry point for municipalities embarking on digital transformation, enabling a seamless transition from identifying key actions to implementing concrete measures. Dentsu will strengthen its systems to support comprehensive DX and BPR initiatives, covering both front-office and back-office needs. By doing so, they aim to accelerate the successful integration of advanced digital technologies and ensure a smooth transition from concept to practice in municipal digital transformation.

Dentsu aims to keep evolving its capabilities in cross-innovation, which transcends traditional boundaries of technology, industries, and local communities. The goal is to continue creating new value, leveraging the synergy between people and technology for a promising future.
