In November, 2017, JDES (Japan Development Engineering Society) held 4th Symposium on the theme of “Horizontal Fusion and Co-Creation - Society 5.0 and Human Resources Development -”.
Today, markets’ paradigm is changing in a way that customers’ interests are rapidly shifting to Kotodukuri which requires multiple value provisions. A single organization alone can’t deal with Kotodukuri, and horizontal alliance is required. However, alliances under the conventional condition in which Knowledge remain within each organization, will hardly create a new value for Kotodukuri. This could be created in a new condition that Knowledge actively move around beyond organizations’ borders, and relevant organizations act together in a manner as if they are the same organization. Those are the background that JDES featured Horizontal Fusion and Co-Creation.
In order to pursue the aboves, 3 key notions will be requisite. Firstly, to translate tacit knowledge to explicit one, and to co-share it among relevant organizations. Secondly, to take advantage of ICT such as Big Data, AI and IoT etc. in order to accelerate process of integrated actions for a new value creation. Thirdly, to develop Human Resources’ capabilities for the aboves.
5 speakers address their professional and practical researches on the aboves, and demonstrate invaluable insights. The symposium will surely provide JDES’s members and others with good opportunities to exchange and share heterogeneous knowledge and to recognize meaningful implications.
