In order to implement intermediate and final evaluations in product development more efficiently and objectively, a relational model of each evaluation indicator was constructed based on mathematical evidences. First, the relationship between Key Goal Indicators (KGIs), such as three-year sales, market share, and intellectual property creation in product development, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used for intermediate evaluation of KGIs were modeled using Bayesian network analysis based on approximately 1,000 data points. Furthermore, the clusters generated due to the differences in business type and annual sales of the enterprises that conducted product development were converted into nodes and incorporated into the model, which made it possible to grasp the presence or absence of the effects in terms of the correlation generated between indicators, attributable to the characteristics of the enterprise. The model constructed in this way revealed that, irrespective of enterprise attributes, the status of human resource development affects ”three-year sales” of a developed product, while the failure rate affect ”three-year market share”. Besides this, based on this model, key management points in product development were extracted, along with the directionality of examination. Moreover, the validity of these results was confirmed through comparison using factor analysis and a survey of related studies. In the future, we will further refine the detection processing of the influence, especially in terms of enterprise attributes in the proposed method, attempt to improve it through demonstration experiments, and implement it in real society as a data-driven management support engine in a collaborative platform that promotes various innovations.

The Japanese semiconductor industry, which has swept the world, has been declining since 1990, and various surveys and studies on the causes of its decline have been published. On the other hand, the first author of this article has been working for the Japanese semiconductor firm for almost 5 decades and has led the project management initiatives approximately for the last 20 years. Even though those made outstanding outcome in terms of project success, they did not lead to the success of the entire business. In this article, we conducted reflection on the project management initiatives those had been led by myself, and analyzed the cause of the business decline from the perspective of program management. Through this analysis, we revealed the importance of the perspective of program management and business ecosystem, not just project management.

What is important in carrying out the software process improvement activity is that the organization constructs the promotion system of the process improvement activity of the whole company and develops it to each department to maintain and improve the value of the software. On the other hand, there are some problems that occur in the execution of software process improvement activities, such as not knowing how to construct the promotion activities, not knowing how to utilize the cases of the promotion activities according to the organization's environment. Then, authors got the idea of improvement measures for those problems from the framework of P2M which manages programs and projects companywide. In this paper, we propose a framework for promoting process improvement activities using P2M.

In Agile Development Scrum, members exercise and promote leadership according to their skills according to their progress. Execution members need shared leadership with variable leaders. Scrum masters, who play the role of connecting product owners and members, are required to have transformational leadership that presents the goals set by the owners and brings out the individual abilities of the executing members. In this article, we compare waterfalls and Scrum to see how leadership needs to change as software development methods change, and consider the roles and leadership needed to carry out value creation programs.

RPA has been widely promoted as a means to improve the productivity of white-collar workers as a countermeasure against population decline. RPA is a digitalization that promotes productivity improvement by using RPA functions to allow robots called Digital Labor to perform white-collar tasks. The digitalization of companies will accelerate to digital transformation, which will create new businesses in the future. In defensive DX, the automation of business operations using RPA is one of the means to achieve this goal. In this paper, as an approach to the problem of applying RPA to DX, the human-centered design of P2M theory is applied and a framework for applying RPA to DX is devised. The effectiveness of the framework is described by applying it to a case study project.

In the standardization of SDGs, there is an increasing need to operate vertically divided social problem solving support measures in an integrated manner. In particular, there is a need to model specific methods of program management for integrated operation. In this study, we analyzed and modeled examples of social problem solving support using P2M theory. After that, we investigated and modeled the causes of failure in improving the performance and value of the entire program and project, which arise from the proto-language related to the setting and evaluation of outcome goals. As a result, in the social problem solution support measures, it is a prerequisite for program project execution ability and value improvement that the relationship between outcome goal setting, integrated management, and 3S model is stably maintained. In addition, the integrated operation of multiple projects by PO will be a facilitating factor. It became clear that most of the failure cases (cases of failure in achieving the expected outcomes, expanding business value, etc.) lack awareness of overall optimization on the project side.

Over 20 years have passed since the introduction of private sector vitality represented by PFI and PPP with the main purpose of improving efficiency and reducing the financial burden as the population declines and the super-aging population progresses. These public-private partnership efforts have mainly focused on collaboration between the public (administrative) and the private sector (business). On the other hand, in order to ensure publicity, it is essential to take into account the perspective of citizen participation, which is the recipient of public services. In this study, we confirmed the issue of public decision-making power in ensuring publicity and the meaning of citizen participation (understanding customer needs), and categorized and analyzed the business process of public-private partnership cases from the viewpoint of citizen participation. Was done.

In Iwaki City and surrounding cities and towns in Fukushima Prefecture, citizens have been working on reconstruction projects with the aim of recovering from the Great East Japan Earthquake and nuclear disaster. This study looks back on the ”Fukushima Organic Cotton Project” from its launch in 2012 to the present day, and has continued reconstruction activities through collaboration between various local residents and exchanges with volunteers by companies, organizations, and individuals in the Greater Tokyo Area. The characteristics of the project are the connection between local residents and evacuees in the area, the connection between each group in the area, and the connection between Hamadori and urban residents. We will analyze and verify the chain of connections through collaboration and trust of citizens and the structure of the regional reconstruction co-creation system by prior research on reconstruction support activities, and P2M theory.

The Teshima Waste Disposal Project is a project to detoxify and recycle the wastes of the Teshima Incident, in which about 900,000 tons of industrial wastes including contaminated soil were illegally dumped in the western part of Teshima, Tonosho-cho, Kagawa Prefecture. Since the settlement of the pollution arbitration in 2000, the project was started with the idea of ”Co-creation” in which the administration and residents are involved as the main actors. In the progress of the project, the local information system has been constructed to support the residents' cooperation in the form of information as a material for monitoring and examining the progress of the project by visualizing the project by 3D modeling of quantitative data, etc. In this study, we analyze the positioning of local information systems in P2M, which enables joint creation of administration and residents by strengthening the value base of information systems.
