Our mission is to “increase companies that shape a better world in the next century.”
We believe that consulting can change the world for the better by supporting companies that are contributing values to the world.
We define those wonderful “companies that make the world a better place in the next century” as follows:
We believe that the values that a company produces are “not produced by the power of any one executive, but from the continuous organization power and culture of the company itself.”
“Increase companies that make the world a better century to come.”
We believe that a high level of the following values are necessary in consultants who truly wish to
1. Have pride in one’s growth
2. Be accountable
3. Take everything positively
4. Commitment to personal and organization goals
5. Collective genius
6. Provide suggestion
7. Gratitude
8. Be considerate of others’ feelings
9. Commitment to clients’ goals
10. Hands-on approach
11. Lead customers with 5 pillars of success
Even though the company is performing well, that does not necessary means the company has a bright future. We define result creation in consulting as the creation of the “5 Pillars”
A company’s sustainable growth and development could not be realized if any one of the “5 qualities” is missing. We are always asking ourselves whether our consulting is contributing to the creation of the “5 Pillars”, and aim to become “companies that make the world a better place in the next century” together with our clients.
Most of management issues arise on-site. No matter how well thought the strategy was, if it is not implemented on-site, it could not produce any result. We think that “on-site is the frontier of business value creation”, therefore we do not only strive to design better strategies, but also support the implementation into on-site activities.
Through “Strategy realization” type consulting, which provides consistent support from strategy to implementation, LiB Consulting gained an industry top-level “90% consulting satisfaction”
In recent years, the presence of Asian countries on the world’s economy is becoming increasingly strong. LiB Consulting goes beyond Japan and established offices in various countries in Asia, such as, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. and provides consulting service to both local and Japanese companies.
