We held panel discussions and other activities involving all employees to incorporate their thoughts for the future of Nihon Kohden into a Long-term Vision. Based on an understanding of the opinions and ideas obtained through these activities, we formulated BEACON 2030 after productive discussions with the management and next-generation leaders.

2030 PROJECT Launched in Nov 2018

Employee Survey in Aug 2019

To realize the participation of all employees in the process of establishing a Long-term Vision, we conducted an employee survey in Japan. A total of 2,155 employees responded to five questions, including "What challenges does Nihon Kohden need to address?", "What sort of organization should the Company become?”

Panel Discussions from Aug 2019 to Feb 2020

We conducted panel discussions on the future of Nihon Kohden with over 3,000 employees from all divisions and subsidiaries. 34 sessions were held globally and four to five panelists, selected from the younger generation at each division, directly talked with President Ogino.

A Long-term Vision, BEACON 2030 Announced in Sep 2020

Through the employee survey and panel discussions, we found that many employees across generations and national boundaries have a common vision of what they want Nihon Kohden to look like in 2030. Although we postponed the announcement due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have confirmed that there will be no change in our vision for the next 10 years. BEACON 2030 was announced in September 2020.
