LTS Launches DX Training Program for Shizuoka Prefecture's Young and Mid-Career Staff
In a significant step towards fostering digital innovation in public service, LTS (株式会社エル・ティー・エス) has successfully completed a Project-Based Learning (PBL) training program designed specifically for young and mid-career employees of Shizuoka Prefecture. This program, which wrapped up in March, was commissioned as part of the prefecture's 'DX Promotion Leaders Training Program' targeting 18 staff members over a nine-month period from July to March the following year.
The initiative focused on crucial areas of business analysis, problem structuring, and improvement planning through six interactive workshops, complemented by hands-on support for participants as they undertook transformation projects. The training program aligns with the 'Digital Skill Standards (DSS)' established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Information Processing Promotion Organization, aiming to cultivate the role of 'Business Architect.' This role is vital for leading transformational efforts within organizations, ensuring that strategies are effectively translated into actionable business structures.
LTS has previously provided training and consulting services primarily to major corporations in Japan, specializing in developing Business Architects and Business Analysts. However, this initiative marks the first comprehensive effort to train officials in municipalities, reflecting LTS's commitment to expand its expertise in organizational change into the public sector. The company aims to strengthen the skills of digital transformation practitioners and embed business transformation expertise within various organizations in the future.
The Shizuoka Prefectural Government's policies emphasize the importance of digital skills in solving challenges through collaboration with administrative staff, requiring leaders who can bridge the gap between general administrative functions and specialized digital capabilities. Within this framework, skills in project management and service design are particularly emphasized.
LTS seeks to improve the target skill sets based on Shizuoka's guidelines, utilizing the DSS as a reference to ensure practical, results-oriented skill acquisition through its PBL training format. The workshops covered various components including:
1. Skill acquisition
2. Business visualization
3. Business analysis
4. Planning formulation
5. Overcoming barriers to transformation
6. Presentation of outcomes
Additionally, to support operational improvement planning and execution, LTS provided ongoing assistance aimed at enhancing participants' transformational capabilities and self-sufficiency. The project facilitated participants in gaining real-world experience, which contributed to establishing a model for training digital transformation staff within Shizuoka Prefecture.
Shizuoka Prefecture initiated its digital strategy in April 2021, establishing a dedicated unit to propel digital transformation efforts, leading to the formulation of the 'Fujinokuni DX Promotion Plan' in March 2022. In response to this plan, LTS has been awarded contracts to run digital talent development programs (for fiscal years 2022 and 2023) aimed at nurturing key personnel in digital transformation processes. This recent training builds upon theoretical knowledge gathered through previous sessions, ensuring the development of practical skills applicable to real-world operations.
LTS is well-suited to assist in enhancing business agility and transformation execution capacities, making significant strides in nurturing Business Architects through this training course. Prominent figures in the field, including Masaki Yamamoto, LTS's Executive Officer and Chief Strategy Officer, served as both advisor and instructor for the program, grounding the curriculum in recognized expertise.
