Our Mission

Creating a Project-based Society

We are engaged in business operations with the belief that the only way for the Japanese society to regain vitality is for Japanese companies to break out of their conventional organization structure that is vertical, top-down and “task-based,” and transform it into a “project-based” structure where talents with the ability to promote projects based on their capacity work together as a team toward their goals.

Who are We?

Business Domains of the Group

We define “digital transformation” (DX) as the expansion of businesses at operating companies through the use of digital technologies to develop new businesses and improve operations. With this understanding, we provide one-stop support for our client companies' DX strategies, from planning to implementation and improvement.

Positioning of the Group in the DX market

A challenge facing the Japanese IT industry is that personnel with good IT knowledge are in short supply, especially in operating companies. Additionally, there has been an overreliance on scratch development tailored to individual companies by specific suppliers, often resulting in a disconnect between management and IT.
Furthermore, a surge in the supply of DX solutions in recent years has made it extremely difficult to select the appropriate ones. In this context, the ProjectHoldings Group characteristically adopts a unique approach by positioning itself to provide cross-business support to operating companies, regardless of their divisions, and accompanies them throughout the implementation and operation of a combination of appropriate solutions.

CEO Message

Since its establishment in 2016 with the corporate philosophy of “Creating a Project-based Society,” the Company has been expanding its business with a focus on consulting services in the digital transformation area. From April 2022, we have transitioned to a group management structure by acquiring four companies through mergers and acquisitions and establishing one new company. While we continue to focus on consulting services as our core business, we will support each of the Group companies in rapid growth. Our corporate group will develop continuously, leading to the transformation of Japanese society into a project-based model. To achieve this, we believe it is crucial to foster and develop a large number of professional talents who will lead the next generation. We will identify the “potential personnel” who will lead the next generation, foster and develop them as “professional talents,” and then allow these “professional talents” to gather, forming a vortex based on their own visions and becoming the driving force of social change. To convey this concept, we have formulated a design in which the ‘P’ gathers like a whirlpool for our corporate logo, and we have also been working within the Company to compile our professional code of conduct as the “PHD Professional Ism.” Starting in 2014, we see ourselves standing at the turning point from a phase in which we have achieved rapid growth as a venture company to a phase in which we aim for long-term, sustainable growth. While cherishing the assets we have built up to date, we will commit to business management with new aspirations. We would like to ask all of our shareholders and investors for your continued support and guidance.
