Dot And Community: Innovating Together

Dot And Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has unveiled a new collaborative network named "Dot And Community." This initiative is designed to bolster companies dedicated to launching new businesses by combining the expertise of professional business development specialists. The community focuses on the co-creation of innovative ventures with executive teams, aiming to transform ideas into new profitable pillars for growth.

In conjunction with the launch of the community, Dot And has introduced a Business Development Outsourcing (BDO) service. This service empowers companies to utilize existing resources to continuously innovate and create new business models.

Background of the Launch

The changing landscape of business has reached a pivotal moment. Over the past decade, trends such as design thinking, open innovation, and digital transformation have shifted corporate approaches to developing new ventures. Many organizations are moving beyond mere experiments and are now genuinely committed to establishing sustainable business models that can ensure their survival in an evolving market.

Despite their achievements in existing operations, many well-known companies grapple with the challenge of launching new initiatives. The shortage of skilled personnel equipped with the right mindset for business development, coupled with inadequate governance to manage new ventures effectively, presents significant hurdles. While some enterprises seek external consulting assistance, they often face delays and diminished returns on investment due to cumbersome processes.

To tackle these challenges, Dot And has created the Dot And Community, a flexible network where business development professionals can exchange insights and form optimal teams for various projects. This collective effort aims to drive innovation by ensuring consistent execution from conception to realization.

What is Dot And Community?

The Dot And Community serves as a collaborative network of business development specialists who engage in partnerships on targeted projects. The mission of the community is to continuously create numerous innovative businesses that have substantial societal impacts. Members of the community not only collaborate on specific projects but also focus on fostering long-term relationships, sharing knowledge, disseminating information, and developing new business creation services.

As society shifts toward individual-centric professional practices influenced by technological evolution, the community aspires to become the new collaborative role model for future business engagement.

Introduction of Community Members

The Dot And Community boasts a diverse array of members, each bringing unique expertise in various aspects of business development, including strategy, UX and service design, UI design, marketing, alliance promotion, and international expansion. Some of the prominent initial members include:

• - Shou Noda – Chief Community Officer (CCO) and President of Dot And Inc., has extensive experience in supporting business development across large enterprises.

Launching the BDO Service

The Dot And Community is also officially launching its BDO service aimed at accelerating new business initiatives. By engaging with management teams willing to seriously pursue new ventures, community members take the lead in facilitating the launch process, enabling a swift transition from concept to reality. Clients can appoint project leaders for effective management outcomes, ensuring a seamless shift to in-house operations post-launch.

The compensation model comprises a reduced fee based on project duration, supplemented by a revenue-sharing agreement after business establishment, motivating strong commitment to the project goals.
