Collaborative Workshop for Regional Business Growth

On July 15, 2025, Ehime Bank and Dooox co-hosted a workshop titled "5 Essential Rules for Practical Implementation of New Business Projects" at the Ehime Bank Training Center. This innovative event aimed to assist local business leaders and project managers in turning their concepts into real action plans.

Background and Purpose

In today’s changing economic landscape, sustainable growth for regional economies depends on continuously evolving existing businesses and embracing new ventures. However, numerous entrepreneurs struggle with the challenge of converting vague ideas into concrete actions. Many express sentiments such as, "I have ideas for new businesses, but I don't know where to start," or "Due to the daily grind, the crucial new business initiatives keep getting sidelined."

By partnering with Dooox, a company committed to addressing the important yet not urgent challenges businesses face, along with Ehime Bank, which actively promotes the revitalization of local economies, this workshop was crafted to provide the necessary support for transforming budding ideas into actionable projects.

Seminar Highlights

The workshop utilized a framework of "5 Essential Rules" developed from Dooox's extensive experience in assisting with new business initiatives. The session was structured to include lectures and collaborative group work.

At the outset, the instructor, Ryosuke Kubotera, explained that stagnation in new business ventures often stems from vague definitions of current positions and objectives. Participants were encouraged to refine their ambiguous ideas into clearly defined "goals."

Following this, attendees worked collaboratively to identify obstacles that might hinder the achievement of these goals, subsequently breaking tasks down into manageable, actionable items. The session highlighted the significance of management and evaluation to avoid project failures, facilitating a complete cycle of implementing the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) approach.

The atmosphere during the two-hour workshop was lively, with participants sharing challenges and discussing ideas, leading to valuable exchanges of feedback among peers.
