“Co-Creation”,
not “Competition”
Today, technology has made it easier to connect.
We believe that it is the concept of “co-creation” rather than “competition”
that will bring about greater results and growth.
With the entire industry. With the whole country.
If our goals overlap, we are willing to work with our rivals.
Working together will achieve growth that would otherwise be unattainable.

Sei-katsu-sha, public,

We overlap our inner thoughts
and feelings, and aim
for greater growth together.
We will overlap our respective aspirations and issues,
and find opportunities for co-creation to achieve even greater growth.
We use the multiplication of the three perspectives
described in the following pages as our weapon of choice.

We use the multiplication of the three perspectives
described in the following pages as our weapon of choice.
Perspectives on People：
“As one”
rather than
“Everyone”
We take Hakuhodo’s philosophy of “sei-katsu-sha thinking” as the starting point as our eye for people.
We don’t treat all the people who lead policies,
economic activities, and lifestyles (and ourselves as well) as a single “everyone.”
We look at the thoughts and feelings of each individual,
and by capturing the intersection of people, we will create a great movement.

Perspectives on Social：
“Social opportunities”
rather than
“Social Issues”
By viewing social issues not as challenges that must be solved,
but as opportunities to move society forward,
we aim to turn a negative situation into positive.

we aim to turn a negative situation into positive.
Perspectives on Companies：
“Social Assets”
rather than
“Business Assets”
We look at the assets of a company or organization not only
from the perspective of business growth and differentiation,
but also from the perspective of “what is in it for society?”.
Social assets are often surprisingly difficult to notice and are often overlooked.

Three steps to
find Co-Creation Opportunities
and achieve new growth.
To find “co-creation opportunities” that lead to greater growth,
we need to tune our current thoughts and issues through dialogue with various stakeholders.
We proceed with our projects in three steps.

Aspirations Drawing
Drawing out aspirations and challenges
We believe that co-creation requires facing people’s aspirations and challenges,
not just a nice-talk or obligation. In this step,
we draw out the aspirations that each person has as a professional and as an individual,
using a variety of inputs and networks.
