What is DX?

What does DX (Digital Transformation) mean?


  • Transforming people's lives for the better through the penetration of digital technology

  • A revolutionary innovation that fundamentally overturns existing values and frameworks



DX can be briefly summarized to mean the above.

In business, we are hearing the term digital transformation (DX) more and more often. Especially after the "DX Report" published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2018, many companies have realized the need for DX and have started to promote DX in their own companies.


How to proceed with DX - 8 steps to promote DX


  1. Accurately understand the current situation

  2. Determine the purpose of promoting DX

  3. Obtain the consent of the person in charge of the organization

  4. Incorporate into the strategy

  5. Determine priorities

  6. Digitize workflows throughout the organization

  7. Digitize business models and operations

  8. Implement the PDCA cycle over the long term


The above 8 steps will be implemented.


To develop a strategy up to step 3, you must first clarify your objectives and resources. (Because without clarifying objectives and resources, no strategy can be formulated.)


  • From there,Transform people's lives for the better by infusing digital technology

The above will be incorporated into the corporate units.

A DX case study of Aomori Prefecture's remodeling company A


In the past, the company relied on offline billboards and flyers to attract customers, and there was a period of time when customer traffic was unstable.


In such a situation, we introduced online advertising (Google ads, Yahoo ads, Facebook ads, etc.) and asked how many ads were viewed? We were also able to visualize how our customers were behaving online, and we were able to see how much our ads were being viewed. The results of these efforts led to a doubling of the number of inquiries.


As a result, the number of inquiries doubled and the cost per customer acquisition was reduced by half.


DX case study of a manufacturing company in Aomori Prefecture


This is a DX case study of a manufacturing company in Aomori Prefecture, which continues to grow by 5% every year and is expected to achieve record sales in 2022. However, in 2014, the company did not even have a core system, and its operations were mainly analog, using mainly handwritten paper. Overtime work and working on holidays had become routine, and the turnover rate was high. We were determined not to let things continue as they were, but we were presented with an estimate that it would cost just under 100 million yen to build an entire system, which we could not afford. Therefore, we started by systemizing time-consuming tasks one by one in response to requests. As a result, the efficiency of the systemized operations became well known within the company, and requests for improvement gradually began to be made. This was a great success in that it motivated the employees to reform their work. Communication among employees and group companies also became more active.
