Traditionally, Japan and its culture transformed due to unexpected and significant impacts and pressure created inside and outside the country. DX and data-driven are continuous objectives for enterprises in this decade. External pressure is higher, but not enough enterprises achieved transformation. D&A leaders should be ambitious, lead their organizations with determination and increase pressure for transforming from the inside.
