Results and Progress
Focus areas and project structure in Digital Agency
Promoting projects based on Digital Agency's three focus areas
In fiscal 2022, we defined three areas of focus for Digital Agency as information necessary for business promotion and decision-making.
Digital Agency links all of its projects to one of these areas and incorporates them into the decision making process for business development.
Specifically, we link the results of individual projects to important indicators in three focus areas and utilize them for human resource management and cost management in accordance with the risk status of the project.
