Overview

The key themes of the 21st century—M&A, business succession, entrepreneurship, and business revitalization—have underscored the necessity of forward-thinking executives and capable support personnel to ensure the sustainable growth and stability of enterprises. The essential attributes required of such personnel include a broad perspective to grasp the diverse stakeholders surrounding a company and the ability to engage and lead them effectively.

On the other hand, the division of labor due to work style reforms, the utilization of DX (digital transformation), and the advancement of AI all present both opportunities and challenges. Depending on how these tools are leveraged, the necessity and role definitions for such personnel may shift—positively or negatively. The critical question now is whether one utilizes these tools effectively or becomes passively reliant on them.
