Message for Our 25th Anniversary
OneAssociates was established on May 15, 2000. Since then, we walked a journey of 26 years. This journey has been made possible thanks to the warm support and encouragement of all of you. We extend our heartfelt gratitude.
Our primary focus has always been to adapt flexibly to the changes of the times and to continue creating sustainable value in collaboration with our members and partners. While our early days saw steady progress, we faced significant challenges along the way, such as the Lehman Brothers collapse, the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, during the pandemic, we turned the inability to work on-site into an opportunity to explore new possibilities by leveraging IT to foster leadership development and strengthen communication online.
Drawing on our global experience at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), we have worked on enhancing IT environments and innovating online meeting practices. For instance, in meetings, we encourage turning cameras on to foster engagement and a sense of connection among participants.
The coming era is often described as "VUCA"—a time of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Amidst this environment, we firmly believe in the immense potential of human creativity, passion, and sense of purpose, especially alongside advancements in AI.
At OneAssociates, we will continue to promote the resonance of energy and spirit toward highest goals through "human collaboration." We are committed to supporting the realization of empowerment that fosters sustainable value creation. As we look to the future, our mission and endeavors will continue to evolve while staying true to their core purpose.
