I am researching corporate transformation and the promotion of innovation. Once a company matures or experiences a certain level of growth, even startups can encounter barriers within departments, divisions, and hierarchies, leading to a state of "structural incompetence" where it becomes difficult to maintain sustainable corporate growth solely through individual capabilities or the acumen of management. This condition can be likened to a "chronic illness," characterized by a lack of clear solutions and a gradual worsening of problems over the long term. For example, issues such as the slow emergence or progress of new business development, poor inter-departmental collaboration, and high turnover rates are common. To address such situations, I conduct research surveys across various companies and focus on dialogue as a unique perspective in my studies. Generally, the lack of a sense of crisis is often seen as a conscious issue in corporate transformation, but in reality, it arises structurally, creating a state where it is unclear "what the problem is" or "where to start addressing it." I focus my support on this aspect.
